Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Index Posts Unexpected Gain in June, Still Indicates Contraction

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 06/26/25 11:11 AM EDT

11:11 AM EDT, 06/26/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Kansas City Fed monthly manufacturing index rose to a reading of minus 2 in June from minus 3 in May, compared with expectations for a decrease to a minus 5 print in a survey compiled by Bloomberg as of 7:45 am ET.

The index still indicates contraction, which is in line with all the regional manufacturing sector readings released to this point, but in contrast with the S&P global Flash index that suggested expansion.

The ISM's national manufacturing reading will be released on July 1.

Within the Kansas City data, there were index gains for production, shipments, new orders and prices paid, but a decline in the employment reading.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
