États-Unis Richmond-Fed-Fabrication-Index

The composite manufacturing index in the US Fifth District improved slightly to -9 in May of 2025 from -13 in the previous month, in line with market expectations. The result was aligned with other leading indicators on the US economy after the US went back on its aggressive batch of tariffs against major trading partners, which sent the index to a five-month low last month. Shipments fel at a slower pace (-10 vs -17 in April) and the outlook on shipment levels swung to the positive territory (2 vs .20). In the meantime, new orders remained lower (-14 vs .15) but the outlook nearly stabilized (-3 vs .26).
