Kansas Fed: Midwest manufacturing picks up
Growth in Tenth District manufacturing activity strengthened in January, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
Production returned nearly back to year-ago levels. Producers’ expectations for future factory activity also rebounded strongly after easing slightly in December. Price indexes moved higher, with twice as many firms reporting a rise in current and expected raw materials prices, but pass-through to finished goods prices remained limited.
