US: NY Empire State Manufacturing Index jumps to 12.9 in February vs. 5 expected

  • Manufacturing activity in NY area expands in February.
  • US Dollar Index extends rally on upbeat data. 

The General Business Conditions Index of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Empire State Manufacturing Survey improved to 12.9 in February from 4.8 in January and beat the market expectation of 5.

The upbeat reading helped the greenback preserve its strength against its rivals. As of writing, the US Dollar Index was at its highest level since early October at 99.34, adding 0.2% on the day.
