Monday’s Economic Calendar Includes Final U.S. Manufacturing PMI Release
The economic calendar for Monday features the release of the final reading on the U.S. Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for manufacturing at 9:45 AM ET. The PMI is a key indicator derived from monthly surveys of selected companies, tracking variables such as production levels, new orders, employment changes, and pricing trends in the private sector. The final PMI reading provides an updated snapshot of manufacturing activity ahead of official government data releases later this month. A strong result could signal resilience or expansion within the sector, while a weaker-than-expected figure may raise concerns about economic momentum heading into Q2 2025. Market participants will closely watch how investors and traders react to the PMI outcome as it can influence sentiment toward equities like those in the S&P 500 index.
