Macro

2026-11-02

Description

The U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is compiled and published by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). It is based on monthly surveys of around 400 purchasing managers. A PMI above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector, while below 50 indicates contraction, serving as a vital indicator of the health of the US manufacturing industry and the global economy.

The PMI is composed of five equally weighted components: New Orders, Production, Employment, Supplier Deliveries, and Inventories.

This data is released on the first business day of each month at 10:00 AM (EST), providing the previous month's survey results.

Although production and new orders expanded steadily, the prices index remaining as high as 75.2 indicates that inflationary pressures persist, potentially adding variables to the Federal Reserve's short-term monetary policy path.
