- What it is
- This is a survey-based index of activity in China's private services sector, compiled by S&P Global (previously known as the Caixin PMI).
- Why it matters
- A reading above 50 indicates the services sector is expanding, and below 50 indicates contraction. Traders use it to gauge China's economy, which affects global sentiment. It is usually a medium-impact release.
- Usual market reaction
- Markets compare the actual figure with the forecast. A PMI higher than forecast usually supports the yuan (CNY) and China-sensitive assets such as the Australian dollar, while a lower reading tends to weigh on them. The effect on gold and Asian stock indices often follows overall risk sentiment.
