Your guide to the ISM Manufacturing PMI

A monthly report from the US, which often impacts a wide range of markets. Learn about it with our interactive widget below.

What is it?

It’s a key economic indicator that reflects the health of the manufacturing sector in the United States. Released monthly by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), it is based on surveys of purchasing managers at over 300 manufacturing firms.

It covers new orders, production levels, employment, supplier deliveries, and inventories. A strong PMI can often strengthens the U.S. dollar; a poor one has been known to weaken it, and it influences central bank decisions on interest rates.

Why does it matter to traders?

The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) provides a reliable outlook on the state of the US manufacturing sector. A reading above 50 suggests that the business activity expanded during the survey period and vice versa.

PMIs are considered to be leading indicators and could signal a shift in the economic cycle. Stronger-than-expected prints usually have a positive impact on the USD.

In addition to the headline PMI, the Employment Index and the Prices Paid Index numbers are watched closely as they shine a light on the labour market and inflation.
