May Global PMI - Business Insider

We are in the middle of the busiest 48 hours in the history of economics.? And ahead of tomorrow's big US employment situation report, we're getting tons of leading economic data from all over the world.

At the beginning of each month, Markit, HSBC, RBC, JP Morgan, and several other major data gathering institutions publish the latest local readings of the purchasing managers index (PMI).? Each reading is based on surveys of hundreds of companies in each country. From Markit:

PMIs are based on monthly surveys of carefully selected companies. These provide an advance indication of what is really happening in the private sector economy by tracking variables such as output, new orders, stock levels, employment and prices across the manufacturing, construction, retail and service sectors.

The PMI surveys are based on fact, not opinion, and are among the first indicators of economic conditions published each month. The data are collected using identical methods in all countries so that international comparisons may be made.

These are not the most closely followed data points.? However, the power of the insights is unparalleled.

Jim O'Neill, Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, believes the PMI numbers are among the most reliable economic indicators in the world.
