US Data Forecast Focus: September ISM Mfg Index Seen At 58.0> 

     WASHINGTON (MNI) - The ISM manufacturing index is expected to dip 
modestly to a reading of 58.0 in September after rising to 58.8 in 
August. The impact of Hurricane Harvey could be fully felt in this 
month's data. However, regional conditions data have suggested solid 
growth, as did the flash Markit estimate. Even the Dallas Fed 
manufacturing data released on September 25 indicated stronger growth 
despite the impact of Hurricane Harvey, as respondents noted only a 
modest impact from the storm statewide and a stronger impact in the Gulf 
region. 
     Analysts underestimated the headline ISM index in August, a common 
theme over the last year. Recent September data have tilted toward 
underestimates since 2010.
