The key reports of the day will be the U.S. manufacturing PMI and ISM for April. These publications will be especially worth monitoring in the context of yesterday’s GDP report, which turned out much weaker than expected.
Although the GDP weakness was mainly driven by net exports — as companies imported goods “in advance” anticipating the introduction of tariffs in April — other components also came in slightly weaker.
Similarly, in today’s PMI and ISM reports, it will be important to pay attention to sub-indices on prices, new orders, and employment. These components may shed more light on business sentiment and their potential impact on the labor market and price pressures.
