Highlights

Dallas manufacturing conditions remain extremely weak. The production index did improve but not very much, to minus 7.0 from minus 13.1. The general activity index also improved but even less, to minus 18.3 from minus 20.8. This index has been in the negative column since January 2015 when the price collapse in oil began to bite. New orders remain deeply negative at minus 14.2 while employment is at minus 11.5 which is the worst reading of the cycle, since November 2009.
