Why Manufacturing PMI matters for USD
PMIs are one of the earliest monthly data points available, often released before official activity statistics. Markets treat them as leading indicators and any sharp divergence from the 50 threshold can drive immediate usd moves.
How to interpret this series
A PMI significantly above 50 signals economic expansion and supports the usd. A move below 50 can shift rate expectations toward easing and weigh on the usd. The key sub-components—new orders and employment—provide forward-looking signals.
