October 2015 US ISM manufacturing PMI 50.1 vs 50.0 exp

• Prior 50.2
• Employment 47.6 vs 50.0 exp. Prior 50.5
• New orders 52.9 vs 50.1 prior
• Prices paid 39.0 vs 38.0 exp. Prior 38.0
• Exports 47.5 vs 46.5 prior
• Imports 47.0 vs 50.5

Not good news on employment and that could take some of the fact that new orders were higher and the headline kept above contraction, despite falling vs September. Better exports but they remain in contraction also. Imports sink below 50.0
