WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. manufacturing firms were growing at a brisk pace in June, further evidence that U.S. economy has brushed off a temporary setback caused by excessive inventories of unsold goods, according to a closely followed survey of top executives released Monday.
The Institute for Supply Management index rose to 56% from 55.0% in May, above the 55.1% expected by economists surveyed by MarketWatch. It's the highest reading since April 2006
Readings over 50% in the ISM diffusion index indicate that more firms are growing than contracting. The ISM had dipped below 50% twice during the fall and winter before surging ahead as spring dawned.
At the current level, the ISM is consistent with growth of about 4.4% annualized. The economy grew at a 0.7% pace in the first quarter, the fourth straight quarter of sub-par growth. Economists believe the economy may have grown faster than 3% in the just concluded second quarter and may be slowing to about 2.5% in the current quarter.
High input prices and the continuing troubles in the housing and auto sectors remain the biggest concerns.
Twelve of 18 industries were growing in June, led by petroleum, chemicals, plastics, and food.
