Chicago PMI Beats But Remains Lower Year-Over-Year

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Having tumbled (and missed) for two straight months, hope triumped in January and pushed Chicago PMI above expectations printing 59.4 (against 57.4 consensus). This is still the 2nd worst print since July so let's not get all excited quite yet as only 4 components rose. This is the 4th month in a row of negative YoY prints. So just to clarify - US GDP misses notably and stocks say "meh" but Chicago PMI beats and stocks smash higher on a JPY lifeboat...

I love surveys.  Probably the most difficult numbers to manipulate without getting caught.

More good news, meaning the Fed can raise rates... ie. 'pull out the rug'. Who's gonna buy the first round at this bar? Do they still take 'extend and pretend' promises?
