About S&P Global Construction PMI — France
DEFINITION
The S&P Global Construction PMI is a widely recognized financial indicator that measures the performance of the global construction industry. It provides valuable insights into the current and future trends of the sector, including changes in output, new orders, employment, and business confidence. This indicator is used by investors, analysts, and policymakers to assess the health of the construction industry and make informed decisions. With its comprehensive coverage and timely updates, the S&P Global Construction PMI is an essential tool for understanding the state of the global economy.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Sentiment surveys are forward-looking inputs that often lead hard data on output and hiring. Sharp swings can drive cross-asset repricing. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Apr 2026): actual 38.1, consensus 40. Prior reading (Mar 2026): 38.4. Before that (Dec 2023): 42.6.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a lower reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bearish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary headwind in the current projection. This indicator correlates most strongly with CAC 40 (Bullish FR, r=0.50) — a useful reference for index-focused traders.
