Factory activity growth slows slightly in March: Markit

Financial data firm Markit said its final U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index slipped to from 57.1 in February to 55.5, a reading that was unchanged from Markit's preliminary reading, which was released last week. The new orders component fell to 58.1 from 59.6 in February, partly the result of a decline in overseas demand, Markit said.
