(RTTNews) - A report released by MNI Indicators on Monday showed a slight decrease by its reading on Chicago-area business activity in the month of June.

The supplier deliveries index also slumped 6.8 points and the employment index slid by 3.9 points, while the new orders rebounded by 4.1 points but remains below the year-to-date average.
