The ISM stands for the Institute of Supply Management. The NON-Manufacturing Index focuses on the non-manufacturing portion of the services sector. This Manufacturing Index is closely watched by traders. Purchasing managers are surveyed on the present situation of economic factors relevant to their position. Factors such as new orders, inventories, production, employment, etc are all considered in this report.

 

This indicator tends to feed data into other indicators that will be released later. Investors monitor this indicator, so as to have some idea as to how the economy is doing, and what the other indicators still to come might be like. A reading of 50 measures the lack of expansion, and a reading above 50 would indicate economic expansion.

Economic indicators are very important to follow. These economic reports influence both the stock market, and the currency market US$, as well as the bond market.

It is always important to remember what figure is the market expecting, and if the actual figures that are released, are above or below expectations. Trend on a year over year, and quarter over quarter basis is also of key importance.

 

ADP Nonfarm Employment Change

The ADP (Automatic Data Processing, Inc.) Nonfarm Employment Change is a measurement of the number of new jobs created in the previous month (of course excluding farming related employment). This report is said to be a precursor to the much more widely followed Nonfarm Payroll Report, which of course is released two days later.

PCE stands for Personal Consumption Expenditures; The Core PCE Price Index is a measurement of consumer inflation rates, as seen when purchasing goods and services. PCE gauges the level of price changes seen within consumer goods and services.  Core PCE excludes Food and Energy because month-to-month purchase volatility of such can skew underlining consumer trends. The Federal Reserve tends to favor this indicator for its clear look at consumer inflation, for this reason traders watch the Core PCE closely.
