WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Manufacturing in the Philadelphia region slowed significantly in September in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, but remained barely above negative territory, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia reported Thursday.
The Philly Fed's activity index fell to 2.2 in September from 17.5 in August. Read full survey. It's the lowest level of the index in three months.
The decline was much larger than expected. Economists were expecting a modest slide in the Philly index to 12.3 in September, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch.
Earlier today, a separate guage of the New York region did not see such a sharp contraction. The New York Fed said its Empire State index only fell to 17.0 from 23.0 in August.
The Philly Fed and Empire state indexes are seen as providing good clues about the national manufacturing index to be released in early October by the Institute for Supply Management. The ISM, in turn, is considered the best real-time guage of the health of the economy.
Readings above zero in the Philly Fed diffusion index indicate expansion in activity. The index measures the breadth of economic activity across firms.
In September, 24% of companies surveyed said business was better than August, while 22% said business was worse.
The new orders index fell to -0.5 from 19.8. The shipments index fell to 13.2 from 17.8. The employment index fell to 2.7 from 6.3.
The prices paid index doubled to 52.7 in September from 25.9. The prices received index rose to 8.6 from 3.0.
Overall expectations about conditions in the next six months fell sharply in September. The future general activity index fell to 7.0 in September from 33.4 in August.
