Purchasing managers index (PMI) rebounded sharply to 56,1 in October, as robust demand pushed new sales orders up, Investec said yesterday. The index, which measures underlying manufacturing activity, leapt from a near two-year low of 51,6 in September. "The resurgence is somewhat puzzling given higher interest rates," said Investec's Andre Roux. - Reuters
