10:00am NY Time US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI Forecast 50.5 Previous 48.7
ACTION: BUY 53.0 SELL 48.0 USD/JPY
Our focus will be on the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI, or better known as the Services PMI, which is a leading indicator of the nation’s Services sector, as many investors look at this release for directional references on the near-term future of the economy.
