Chicago PMI tumbles to five-and-half-year low in February
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The February reading of Chicago PMI tumbled to a five-and-a-half year low of 45.8, MNI Indicators said Friday. The reading, down from 59.4 in January and below the 50 mark measuring contraction, came after double-digit drops in production, new orders, order backlogs and employments. The West Coast port strike and the harsh winter [na endlich, das Wort hätte ich früher im Text erwartet, A.L.) probably had a negative impact in February, although it is difficult to gauge the magnitude, the report said.

Für Bafo: DOW jetzt schon 32 Punkte im Minus ;-)
