The report’s key metric, the PMI, at 47.4 (a reading of 50 or higher indicates growth), down 1.0% from December’s 48.4, contracting, at a faster rate, for the third consecutive month. The last three months of contraction, through January, were preceded by a stretch of 29 consecutive months of growth. ISM also said that the overall economy contracted, at a faster rate, in January, for the second consecutive month, which was preceded by 30 consecutive months of growth.
