• Prior 19.28
  • Employment 17.05 vs 10.75 in June
  • New orders 18.77 vs 18.36 prior
  • Prices paid 25.0 vs 17.2 prior
  • 6 month expectations 28.47 vs 39.84

While not a big data point in its entirety it is the first of the new months data so is often used as a proxy for similar data.

It’s a good strong report showing the trend that we’ve seen since the weather washed out. Only another 4 odd months and we can start using it as an excuse again
