Orders Index, which registered 51.4%, and the Production Index, which registered 52.2%. Overall, the ISM report for March was mixed. Seven indices
showed growth—new orders, production, employment, prices, backlog of orders, exports and imports—but three showed contraction. The indices for supplier deliveries, inventories, customers’ inven- tories all registered below 50%. Of the 18 manufacturing industries,
14 reported growth in March, down from 15 that showed growth in Febru- ary. The March report can be found at
