After exploding to its highest since May 2014 in June, Chicago Purchasing Managers gave up hope in July.

PMI plunged most since Feb 2015 to 58.9 – erasing all of July’s “surprise” gains as new order growth slowed and prices paid accelerated.

Only 2 components were rising:

Prices paid rose at a faster pace
New orders rose at a slower pace
Employment rose at a slower pace
Inventories rose at a faster pace
Supplier deliveries rose at a slower pace
Production rose at a slower pace
Order backlogs rose at a slower pace

Are ‘soft’ surveys about to start waking up to reality?
