UK Manufacturing PMI 09/01/09

by Henry Liu on August 31, 2009

4:30am (NY Time) UK Manufacturing PMI Forecast 51.5   Previous 50.8
ACTION: GBP/USD                                     BUY 53.5              SELL         49.0

UK Manufacturing PMI is a survey of purchasing managers in the manufacturing sector on various economic activities, including inventory, employment, orders, etc… A higher than 50 reading means expansion, or a less than 50 reading means contraction.  If this number stays above 50, there shouldn’t be much market reaction; however, if this number falls below 50, GBP could be under some selling pressure as the confidence level for Sterling has been low among investors.
