On Thursday, September 1, trades in USA have come to the end with mixed dynamics, after manufacturing data. The Institute for Supply Management’s index of manufacturing activity fell to 49.4 in August from 52.6 in July. A reading above 50 indicates factory activity is growing, while a reading under 50 signals contraction. The index over the past 12 month has averaged 50.2, a figure barely into expansion territory.
