PRESS ROOM
Key events coming up this week
Monday 03rd August '20
The Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) is a useful indicator to measure the change in economic activity from one month to another. A reading above 50 signals expansion in activity while a reading below 50 implies contraction over the month. The index is typically available for the manufacturing and services sectors. Over the next week, several large economies will be releasing their monthly PMI numbers. Markets will closely be watching these announcements to gauge how well economic activity is picking up.
