PMI is released before GDP, before employment data, and before the headline numbers that move markets, this guide explains why it matters.

‎

Every month, before GDP figures are published and before employment reports confirm the labour market direction, the Purchasing Managers Index provides one of the earliest reads on whether economic activity is expanding or contracting. It is released before the data most traders are watching which means traders who incorporate PMI have a signal that precedes the events that ultimately move currencies and risk assets.

‎

A practical guide to the Purchasing Managers Index, how PMI data provides an early signal on economic expansion and contraction, and how traders use it to anticipate currency direction before official GDP and employment data arrives.
