How to read the PMI
A reading above 50 means more businesses reported growth than decline; below 50 signals contraction. The further from 50, the stronger the signal.
Beyond the headline number, investors watch the new orders index as a hint of future activity and the prices index for inflation pressure.
Manufacturing is a smaller part of the economy but swings more with the business cycle, while the Services PMI covers the much larger service sector.
