The Institute of Supply Management removed its data on January manufacturing released Monday morning, saying the number was being updated, but later clarified its headline number remained the same.
- “Historical Number is being updated, come back later today or contact Jessica Boyd at 480-752-6276,” ISM first said on its website.
- It later clarified that "PMI remains unchanged at 50.9%."
- The index rising to its highest level since August was a big reason for the market’s surge in early trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% in midday trading.
