Manufacturing activity in the United States probably slowed down in March. The preliminary reading of the manufacturing PMI probably was at 56.5 in March, as the final reading was at 57.1 during the preceding month. Values above the key level of 50.0 are indicative of expansion in the sector. Markit Economics is to publish the official reading at 13:45 GMT.
