The final US Markit PMI for December 2017
- Prelim was 52.4
- Prior was 54.5
The preliminary report disappointed at 52.4 vs 54.7 expected, so there was a bit of mean reversion here. The market ignored the original report and the US dollar isn't getting much of a lift here.
- Employment 53..3 vs 53.8 prior
- Composite 54.1 vs 53.0 prior
