MNI Indicators reports the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index rose to 67.6 in December from November’s 63.9, finishing 2017 at the highest level in six years. Readings over 50 indicate improving conditions. The amount of goods and services produced in the Chicago region hit a 34-year peak, reflecting steadily rising demand while new orders touched a 3½ year high.
Serving the West Side first, I am Bill Roller of BR Capital for 1360 KUIK.
