US ISM continues the manufacturing theme today

It's manufacturing day across the world today

The US is next to step up to the manufacturing data plate.

At 13.45 GMT we get the US Markit PMI final, which is expected in at 53.5 from the flash 53.4, and 54.2 in Feb.

At 14.00 GMT is the big ISM number. A minor drop is expected here to 57.2 from Feb's 57.7

ISM PMI

The other expectations are;

  • Employment 54.7 vs 54.2 prior

  • Prices paid 66 vs 68 prior

  • New orders 65.1 prior

The way the market is trading right now, we'll probably need to see a massive beat or miss to het the dollar moving but we can hope ;-)

To get us in the mood, Canada has it's PMI out in a couple of minutes too. There's no expectations but Feb came in at 54.7.
