Australia Markit Manufacturing PMI
The IHS Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is based on data derived from monthly responses to questionnaires issued to a representative panel of purchasing executives from over 400 privately held manufacturing companies in Australia. The panel is divided based on the GDP and the size of the company's staff. There are nine broad categories of manufacturing: Food and Beverage, Textiles and Clothing, Wood and Paper, Chemicals, Plastics and Rubber, Metals and Metal Products, Electronic and Electrical Equipment, Machinery & Equipment, Transport Equipment, and Other Manufacturing. A score more than 50 indicates that the manufacturing sector expanded in the preceding month; a value less than 50 indicates that the manufacturing sector contracted, and a value of 50 shows no change.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the AUD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the AUD.
