United States Chicago PMI
Manufacturing and non-manufacturing sector performance in the Chicago region is measured by the Chicago PMI (ISM-Chicago Business Barometer). The Index is derived from five weighted indexes which are then seasonally adjusted to allow for month-to-month comparisons: Production (25%), New Orders (35%), Order Backlog (15%), Employment (10%), and Supplier Deliveries (15%). A reading greater than 50 suggests an increase, a reading less than 50 indicates a retraction, and a value of 50 indicates no change. The Chicago Purchasing Managers' Index is released one day before the ISM Manufacturing Index.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD.
