The Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing survey for February sank to negative 6.3 from 9.4 in January for the weakest reading since February 2013 and the first negative reading since last May.  That contradicted the U.S. flash purchasing managers’ index  which rose to 56.7 in February, up from January’s three month low of 53.7.
