HEADS UP: It’s global PMI Day, and this is our scorecard.
Japan kicked things off earlier with a horrible July PMI number. Things really pick up at 8:00 PM tonight with South Korean PMI.
The crucial Chinese PMI numbers come out at 9:00 PM and 10:30 PM.
At the beginning of each month, Markit, HSBC, RBC, JP Morgan and several other major data gathering institutions publish the latest local readings of the manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) for countries around the world.
PMI is one of the best leading indicators of the economy.
Each reading is based on surveys of hundreds of companies. Read more about it at Markit.
These are not the most closely followed data points. However, the power of the insights is unparalleled. Jim O’Neill, Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, believes the PMI numbers are among the most reliable economic indicators in the world.
