Business activity continued to grow at a solid clip in New York State, according to firms responding to the January 2018 Empire State Manufacturing Survey.
The headline general business conditions index, at 17.7, was little changed from last month's level. The new orders index and the shipments index both showed ongoing growth, although at a slower pace than in December. Unfilled orders and delivery times increased slightly, and inventory levels were higher.
Labor market conditions pointed to a modest increase in employment and steady workweeks. Both input prices and selling prices increased at a faster pace than last month. Firms remained very optimistic about future business conditions and capital spending plans were robust.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' (RICS) UK Residential Market Survey for November 2017 (PDF, 598KB) reported that their headline near term price expectations series rose to -5% from -10% in October, meaning three month expectations are now more or less flat at the national level. Similarly, the new buyer enquiries series stabilised with a net balance of -5% of respondents noting a decline in demand (as opposed to an increase), up from -19% in October.
The headline rate of inflation for goods leaving the factory gate (output prices) rose 3.3% on the year to December 2017, up from 3.1% in November 2017.
Prices for materials and fuels (input prices) rose 4.9% on the year to December 2017, down from 7.3% in November 2017.
All industries provided upward contributions to output annual inflation; the largest contribution was made by food products.

The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) 12-month inflation rate was 2.7% in December 2017, down from 2.8% in November 2017.
Following a steady increase from late 2015, since April 2017 the CPIH rate has levelled off, ranging between 2.6% and 2.8%.
The downward effect came mainly from air fares, along with a fall in the prices of a range of recreational goods, particularly games and toys.
The downward contributions were partially offset by an increase in tobacco prices, reflecting duty increases that came into effect following the Autumn Budget, along with an increase in petrol and diesel prices.
The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) 12-month rate was 3.0% in December 2017, down from 3.1% in November 2017.
