GBP UK Final Services PMIFinal Services PMI Forecast 53.1Previous 53.1
- What it is
- A survey of purchasing managers at British service companies, published by S&P Global and CIPS. The final reading revises the flash (preliminary) estimate released earlier.
- Why it matters
- Services make up most of the UK economy, so traders use it to gauge economic health; a reading above 50 usually signals expansion. The final figure usually has a moderate impact because the flash estimate is already known.
- Usual market reaction
- Prices react to the actual figure compared with the forecast. A higher-than-forecast result usually supports the pound (GBP), while a lower one tends to weigh on it. If the final number differs a lot from the flash estimate, the move can be larger.
