MMT Chats: Surge in New Orders Drives Moldmaking Index Expansion

I sit down with Gardner Intelligence Chief Economist Michael Guckes to talk through the surge in the Moldmaking Index last month. He breaks down the 55.1 reading and the rush of new orders activity and followed by expanding production, backlogs and employment activity.
