United States Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index
The Richmond Manufacturing Index gauges the sustainability of the manufacturing sector in the District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and a large portion of West Virginia. In order to calculate the index, a survey of 190 manufacturing facilities was conducted, and it is based on three distinct indexes with the following weights: Shipments (33%), New Orders (40%), and Employment (27%). The index can have a value between +100 and -100; a value greater than 0 implies expansion, while a value less than 0 indicates contraction.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD.
