The reading indicates neither expansion nor contraction. Other regional manufacturing data already released have been mixed.
Released at the same time, the services revenue index rose to 3 in May from minus 13 in April. The index indicates a return to expansion in the sector, which is in line with the Kansas City and the S&P Global flash indexes but in contrast with the Philadelphia Fed index that pointed to contraction.
