ECONOMIC REPORT: Factory gauges point different directions; Philly Fed shows no growth, while Empire State signals a return to health
By Greg Robb & Rex Nutting, MarketWatch Last Update: 12:27 PM ET Feb 15, 2007

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Two forward-looking indicators of factory activity moved in different directions in early February.
The New York Fed's Empire State index jumped to a healthy 22.4 in February after two soft months, but the Philly Fed index fell to 0.6, pointing to a barely growing manufacturing sector in the Philadelphia region.
In both indexes, readings over zero indicate growth.
The two gauges are of interest primarily because they are seen as clues to the national Institute for Supply Management survey for February due out in two weeks. In January, the ISM index fell unexpectedly below 50% for the second time in three months. In the ISM, readings under 50% indicate the factory sector is contracting.
Another report from the Federal Reserve on Thursday confirmed that dismal ISM reading. Industrial production fell 0.5% in January, despite a hefty contribution from rising utility output. Manufacturing output fell 0.7%, including a severe drop in motor vehicle output. See full story.
In the Philly Fed report, the headline index dropped to 0.6 from 8.3. Economists expected a drop to about 5.3. See Economic Calendar.
The Philly Fed new orders index fell to negative 0.5, while the shipments index dropped by more than 22 points to 1.7. The unfilled orders index improved to negative 10.5, indicating that manufacturers are working off their backlogs. The prices-paid and prices-received indexes showed little change. The employment indexes contracted.
In Empire State report, the headline index rose to 24.4 from 9.1, confounding expectations of a drop to 8.7. New orders and shipments increased and unfilled orders moved out of negative territory. The employment indexes improved.
The Empire State new orders index rose to 18.9 from 10.3. Shipments rose to 27.1 in February from 16.1. The inventory index improved to negative 7.5 from negative 19.2.
