  • The Philly Fed manufacturing survey was slightly stronger than expected in Jan, increasing from 15.4 to 23.2 (cons 19.0) in contrast to a sizeable decline in the Empire survey earlier this week.
  • There however some mixed price components within the survey. Current prices paid increased back towards series highs but relatively fewer firms passed this on with a second consecutive decline in the prices received component.
