Details from the December 2016 US ISM New York business conditions index 4 January 2017
Outlook 74.2 vs 60.8 prior
Employment 42.0 vs 52.3 prior
Prices paid 57.5 vs 59.2 prior
Revenues 55.0 vs 52.1
6m expectations 67.5 vs 66.7 prior
Not something the market usually blinks at but these numbers have given the dollar a little lift. They look a bit weak on the inflation front, and very weak on employment but sentiment is very high for the outlook and expectations.
