10:45 AM EDT, 05/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The Dallas Fed's monthly manufacturing index rebounded to a reading of 0.4 in May from minus 2.3 in April, compared with expectations for a smaller increase to a reading of 0.0.

The index indicates a return to expansion which is in line with the New York Fed, Kansas City Fed and the S&P global flash measures but in contrast with the Philadelphia Fed index that suggested contraction.

For Dallas, there were gains in the readings for employment and prices paid but declines in the readings for production, shipments and new orders.

The reading for the company outlook fell to 0.3 from 3.0 in April.
