The Federal Reserve Branch of Texas released its manufacturing survey yesterday:
Texas Manufacturing Expansion Continues, but Outlooks Worsen and Uncertainty Rises
This is third Fed branch to issue a lackluster/weak/negative June report. The other 2 were New York and Philadelphia.
Clearly the economy is slowing...not going into recession...slowing. We are headed right back to where we were before Trump the Inept entered office. The tax cuts have worn off and the tariffs are biting.
28% report tariffs as a negative impact on their business and 44% of those businesses report passing along the cost increases to customers.

Texas Manufacturing Expansion Continues, but Outlooks Worsen and Uncertainty Rises
Texas factory activity continued to expand in June, according to business executives responding to the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey. The production index, a key measure of state manufacturing conditions, rose from 6.3 to 8.9, indicating output growth accelerated slightly from May.
Other measures of manufacturing activity exhibited mixed movements in June. The new orders index edged up to 3.7, a reading still below average. The growth rate of orders index fell eight points to -6.7, reaching its lowest reading in nearly three years. The capacity utilization index inched up to 9.6, while the shipments index retreated six points to 1.7, a two-year low. The capital expenditures index posted a double-digit decline, falling 11 points to 6.9, also a two-year low.
