Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity Flat in August âšī¸
The Kansas City Fed's Manufacturing Production Index improved to 0 in August 2025, stabilizing factory activity with modest gains in production, shipments, and new orders, and cautiously positive future expectations.
Manufacturing indicators show incremental stabilization with mixed signals. Modest improvements in production and forward-looking metrics suggest potential economic resilience, but underlying weakness in specific sectors and employment trends temper optimism.
