Dallas Fed May Manufacturing Index Indicates a Return to Expansion

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 10:45 AM EDT

10:45 AM EDT, 05/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The Dallas Fed's monthly manufacturing index rebounded to a reading of 0.4 in May from minus 2.3 in April, compared with expectations for a smaller increase to a reading of 0.0.

The index indicates a return to expansion which is in line with the New York Fed, Kansas City Fed and the S&P global flash measures but in contrast with the Philadelphia Fed index that suggested contraction.

For Dallas, there were gains in the readings for employment and prices paid but declines in the readings for production, shipments and new orders.

The reading for the company outlook fell to 0.3 from 3.0 in April.

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.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
