A reading above zero indicates growth

The index indicates expansion, which is in line with the Richmond Fed and the S&P global flash indexes released earlier but in contrast with the New York Fed and the Philadelphia Fed measures that pointed to contraction.

There was an increase in the Kansas City revenue/sales reading to 18 from 15, while the employment reading rebounded to 7 from minus 5.

The reading of selling prices increased to 19 from 14, while the input price index jumped to 45 from 31.
