U.S. factory activity growth hits highest since May 2010: Markit

Financial data firm Markit said the final read of its U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index rose to 57.1 in February, above both the preliminary read of 56.7 and expectations for a read of 56.6. "This to a large extent reflects a temporary rebound after supply chains and production had been disrupted by severe weather," Chris Williamson, Chief Economist at Markit said in a statement.
