09:52 AM EDT, 09/30/2024 (MT Newswires) -- The Institute for Supply Management's Chicago PMI reading rose to 46.6 in September from 46.1 in August, above the 46.0 print expected in a survey compiled by Bloomberg as of 7:35 am ET.

The index still indicates contraction, which is in line with the Richmond Fed, Kansas City and the S&P Global flash indexes but in contrast with the Empire State and the Philadelphia Fed readings that signaled expansion.

The national ISM manufacturing index for September will be released on Tuesday.
