Economists estimate this index was 56.2 in May, up from 55.4 in April.

"The US manufacturing sector continued to gain strength heading into mid-year as supportive demand conditions led to the sharpest month-on-month increase in production for over three years," said Markit's Paul Smith in the preliminary report. "This provides further confirmation that industry will aid a rebound in U.S. GDP in the second quarter, and other indicators from the survey suggest that the sector has plenty of momentum heading into the summer and beyond."
