Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI)

Forward-looking indicator of economic outlook and production volumes
Value above 50 predicts future production growth, value below 50 predicts future production contraction
 (updated at the beginning of every month) Data source: Trading Economics (S&P and HCOB)
Updated 2026-08-02 08:47 UTC
PMI trend
Updated 2026-08-02 08:37 UTC

The US Manufacturing PMI fell slightly to 53.8 in July 2026, below market expectations, due to a sharp slowdown in production growth and slower inventory accumulation. This was partly offset by increased factory employment and supply disruptions from the Middle East leading to longer supplier delivery times.

The HCOB Eurozone Manufacturing PMI, compiled by S&P Global, surveys about 3,000 private sector companies in eight countries. The PMI, a weighted average of five indices, indicates an overall increase if above 50 and decrease if below.
