Positive data

The pace of growth in the US manufacturing sector rose modestly in October as new orders improved, though a measure of employment slowed, a report released yesterday showed.

The Institute for Supply Management said its index of national factory activity rose to 51.7 from 51.5 in September, topping hopes for a slight fall to 51.2, a poll showed. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector. It was the second month the sector has grown after contracting through the summer.
