S&P Global Manufacturing PMI Flash JPY

About this indicator

The S&P Global Japan Manufacturing PMI is a monthly indicator of manufacturing sector performance, based on survey responses from a panel of approximately 400 manufacturers. Survey participants report changes compared to the previous month across several business variables. Each response is used to calculate a diffusion index ranging from 0 to 100, where a reading above 50 signals expansion, and below 50 indicates contraction. The headline figure, known as the Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI), is a weighted composite of five key components: New Orders (30%), Output (25%), Employment (20%), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15%), and Stocks of Purchases (10%). To ensure consistency in directional movement, the Suppliers’ Delivery Times Index is inverted when incorporated into the overall PMI.
