Richmond Fed Points To Broader Activity Slowdown
US
As if today's PMI and home sales weren't bad enough, some attention being paid to the weak May Richmond Fed index: -9 was the worst reading since May 2020 and a significant miss vs +10 expected (and +14 prior).
- Very roughly speaking, the -9 reading has historically been equivalent to about 50.0 on the ISM.
