About HSBC Services PMI — United States
DEFINITION
HSBC Services PMI is a leading economic indicator that measures the performance of the services sector in a country. It provides valuable insights into the health and growth of the services industry, which is a major contributor to a country's overall economic activity. The index is based on a monthly survey of purchasing managers in the services sector, and is widely used by businesses, investors, and policymakers to make informed decisions and forecasts. With its timely and accurate data, HSBC Services PMI is a crucial tool for monitoring and analyzing the state of the services sector and its impact on the 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.
