What economic data release can suddenly make currencies, indices and commodities start moving? 🏭 It’s likely the manufacturing PMI, reflecting business activity in countries like the US, UK, Japan etc. Here’s how this data may affect the market: ✔️ PMI above 50 → growth → optimistic outlook → support for national currency and indices. ✔️ PMI below 50 → slowdown → weaker outlook → pressure on risk assets. Assets that usually react to PMI: 💥 Major currency pairs like EUR/USD 💥 Indices 💥 Commodities that move on production demand expectations (oil, copper, silver) 📌 Example: On December 1, 2025, the US ISM manufacturing PMI came in at 48.2, below the 49 forecast. After the release, GBP/USD fell as the dollar strengthened on better-than-expected data. 💡 Tip for traders: If the PMI data differs significantly from the forecast, expect stronger moves in the related assets. 💾 Save this post to have it handy for the next data release. #OT_trading_glossary
