US Markit PMI Composite
Location: United States
Date: 04/03/2015
Time: 14:45
Strength: 2/3
Previous: 54.4
Notes: The PMI monthly Composite Reports on Manufacturing and Services, released   by Markit Economics, are based on a large number of business executives in   private sector manufacturing and services  companies. Data is usually   released on the third working day of each month. Each response is weighted   according to the size of the company and its contribution to total   manufacturing or services output accounted for by the sub-sector to which   that company belongs. Replies from larger companies have a greater impact   on the final index numbers than those from small companies. Results are   presented by question asked, showing the percentage of respondents   reporting an improvement, deterioration or no change since the previous   month. From these percentages, an index is derived: a level of 50.0 signals   no change since the previous month, above 50.0 signals an increase (or   improvement), below 50.0 a decrease (or contraction).
