About Services PMI (NMI) (USD)

The Non-Manufacturing Index (NMI) for United States surveys service-sector activity, covering industries such as finance, retail, healthcare, and accommodation. It complements the manufacturing PMI to give a complete picture of economic momentum.

Why FX traders watch it

Services sectors represent the majority of employment and GDP in most developed economies. Strong NMI readings indicate robust domestic demand and hiring, which the Federal Reserve weighs in its assessment of inflation and growth risks.

How to interpret the data

NMI above 50 is expansionary and broadly usd-positive. A drop below 50 in services is more alarming than a manufacturing contraction in most economies because services are harder to offset through exports.
