PMI

Significado en lenguaje sencillo

A Purchasing Managers' Index summarises survey responses, commonly with 50 as the no-change threshold under that survey's methodology.

Por qué es útil

PMI is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.

Dónde aparece en XMarketRadar

Look for PMI in Economic Intelligence and official-data views with observation, release, unit and source dates.

Cómo se calcula o se obtiene

XMarketRadar reads PMI from the identified official or approved source and preserves its published unit, observation period, release date and revision status; it does not reconstruct the series from market prices.

Entradas, período y unidad

Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.

Ejemplo práctico

Illustrative only: A published PMI of 53 is above the common 50 no-change threshold; it indicates survey expansion under that methodology, not 53% output growth.

Qué significan alto y bajo

A higher or lower PMI value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.

Positivo, negativo y cero real

Positive and negative PMI values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.

Cuándo no está disponible

Unavailable (—) means PMI is absent, unsupported, stale under the screen's rules or not computable from verified inputs. It must never be converted to zero or a neutral signal.

Limitaciones y errores comunes

Revisions, seasonal adjustment, basket changes, survey methodology, base years and publication lags limit direct comparisons. Market reaction is not part of the indicator value.

Diferencias según el mercado

The concept is used across all supported markets, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
