4月のフィラデルフィア連銀地域非製造業活動指数は上昇したが、依然として景気後退を示している。

-- フィラデルフィア連邦準備銀行が発表した月次非製造業活動指数は、前月のマイナス23.9から4月にはマイナス16.5に上昇した。ブルームバーグが午前7時35分(米国東部時間)時点でまとめた調査では、マイナス19.8への小幅上昇が予想されていたが、今回の結果はそれよりも小幅な上昇にとどまり、非製造業部門の縮小ペースが鈍化していることを示している。 新規受注と売上高は減少したが、雇用と物価は上昇した。 地域レベルでの6カ月間の見通しは改善し、今後6カ月間の地域経済の拡大を予想する回答者は35%に上り、縮小を予想する回答者はわずか28.4%にとどまった。
