US economy forecast at end Mar 2020

Dear Bobby ~ 

Recently I subsequently explore on US market, also talk with a few investors who are both good at US economy observations. There are some points summarised as follow :

1. Last time we mentioned IHS Markit US Services Feb PMI sharply down 4% with the forecast. But leading index for manufactured sector Chicago PMI of Jan-Feb-Mar show as 42-49- 47.8. Unfinished orders soar and business inventory have been in minus since last Nov. It seems that business inventory is on closeout ( or clearance). and if US consumption can keep going, It'll create persistent demand for industrial production. Another sign to back up view is that  Capacity Utilization in Manufacturer increased to 77 percent in February from 76.60 percent in January
