The US ISM Manufacturing PMI is due Monday, August 3 at 14:00 UTC, making it the session’s marquee US data point. As one of the earliest monthly reads on factory activity, it draws close attention from dollar-focused desks.
What the ISM Manufacturing PMI measures
The ISM Manufacturing PMI is a survey-based index built from responses on new orders, production, employment, supplier deliveries and inventories across US manufacturers. A reading above 50 signals expansion in the sector, while a reading below 50 points to contraction.
Markets watch it because it is timely and often moves expectations for broader US growth and Federal Reserve policy. The forecast stands at 54.0, up from the previous reading of 53.3, keeping the survey in expansion territory on both counts.
