Manufacturing survey from Markit

  • Highest since March 2015
  • Preliminary reading was 55.5
  • Prior was 55.1
  • New orders 56.8 vs 55.9 prior -- one year high
  • Output 56.2 vs 55.9 prior

There has been a smidge of weakness in the regional numbers but there's nothing to confirm that here. The ISM manufacturing survey is due at the top of the hour.
