Flash 55.5. Jan 55.2

Another new high for the PMI. Up to its best since Apr 2011. Same for new orders.
The recovery in European manufacturing goes on. The euro is finally helping exporters as export orders jumps to the highest in nearly 6 years.
Prices rose once again but fortunately on both sides. Input prices rose the fastest since May 2011 and output prices followed them at the fastest rate in nearly 6 years. That's good news on the margin front.
