The Market Ticker - Philly Fed: Now THAT Is A Disaster

The Market Ticker - Philly Fed: Now THAT Is A Disaster

There's bad, there's really bad, but when you just can't deal with the ordinary bad you need yesterday's Philly Fed survey:
Firms responding to the June Business Outlook Survey indicated weaker business conditions this month. The survey’s indicators for general activity, new orders, shipments, and average work hours were all negative this month, suggesting overall declines in business. Input price pressures were less in evidence this month, with more firms reporting declines in input prices. And for the second consecutive month, more firms reported declines in prices for their products than reported increases. The survey’s indicators of future activity remained positive and improved slightly, suggesting that the current weakness in activity is expected to be short]lived.
Riiight.
The market was having none of it and sold off over 200 DOW points.
