Key U.S. Economic Indicators to Keep In Mind While Trading in Gold During U.S. Session:
Today’s U.S. session will remain busy as U.S. has scheduled to release many key economic Indicators but the key indicators will be U.S. Flash Manufacturing as well as Services PMI data scheduled at 1445 GMT/2015 IST and thereafter Richmond Manufacturing Index data at 1500 GMT/2030 IST.
Flash PMI data is a leading indicator of economic health – businesses react quickly to market conditions, and their purchasing managers hold perhaps the most current and relevant insight into the company’s view of the economy. It is derived via a survey of about 800 purchasing managers which asks respondents to rate the relative level of business conditions including employment, production, new orders, prices, supplier deliveries, and inventories.
While Richmond Manufacturing Index is derived via a survey of about 55 manufacturers in the Richmond area which asks respondents to rate the relative level of business conditions including shipments, new orders, and employment.
