The economic activity in the US private sector continued to expand at a modest pace in early December, with S&P Global Composite PMI edging slightly higher to 51.0 from 50.7 in November.
The Manufacturing PMI remained in the contraction territory, declining to 48.2 from 49.4, while the Services PMI improved to 51.3 from 50.8.
Commenting on the survey's findings, "the early PMI data indicate that the US economy picked up a little momentum in December, closing off the year with the fastest growth recorded since July," said Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. "Despite the December upturn, the survey therefore signals only weak GDP growth in the fourth quarter."
The US Dollar Index showed no immediate reaction to these data and was last trading modestly higher on the day slightly below 102.50.
