What is Manufacturing PMI?
The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index is a diffusion index built from a monthly survey of factory purchasing managers covering new orders, output, employment, supplier delivery times, and inventories. A reading above 50 indicates expansion vs the previous month; below 50 indicates contraction.
Why it matters for FX
PMIs are released early in the month and are among the highest-frequency reads on the real economy. FX markets use them to update growth expectations — a sustained PMI move below 50 in a major economy typically pulls forward central-bank rate cuts and weighs on the currency. Manufacturing PMIs are particularly important for export-heavy currencies.
How to read this page
Read the level relative to 50 and the month-over-month change. New orders is the most forward-looking sub-index. Pair the manufacturing PMI with services (NMI / non-manufacturing) for the full picture, since services dominate GDP in most advanced economies.
What to watch for
- Crossings of the 50 expansion / contraction threshold
- New orders sub-index as the leading edge
- Prices-paid sub-index as an inflation early warning
- Flash vs final readings (eurozone, UK, US)
- Cross-country PMIs telling the same story (global cycle vs idiosyncratic)
