PMI

The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is a widely used economic indicator that surveys purchasing managers in manufacturing and services to gauge business activity, new orders, production levels, and employment trends. Published monthly, PMI readings above 50 indicate expansion, while readings below 50 signal contraction. Investors and policymakers use PMI data to assess economic momentum and inform decisions on monetary policy and market strategies.
