标题：May 2019 Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey

参考译名：2019年5月美国制造业前景展望

简介：Results from the May Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey suggest continued growth for the region’s manufacturing sector. The survey’s indexes for general activity, shipments, and employment increased from their April readings.  The new orders index remained positive but decreased modestly. The survey’s future activity index, after falling in recent months, was little changed, while the firms’ forecast for future employment improved.

Current Indicators Suggest Continued Growth

The diffusion index for current general activity increased from 8.5 in April to 16.6 this month (see Chart 1). Over 25 percent of the manufacturers reported increases in overall activity this month, while 9 percent reported decreases. The indexes for current shipments and new orders moved in opposite directions this month: The current shipments index increased 9 points, while the new orders index fell 5 points. The current inventories index fell 6 points to its first negative reading in four months.
