Economic calendar: ISM manufacturing, final PMIs for April

7:48 AM 2 May 2022
  • European markets expected to open lower

  • ISM manufacturing index for April

  • Final manufacturing PMIs from Europe

Futures markets point to a lower opening of the European cash session, following a mixed  Asian session. Trading in Asia was muted as Chinese traders were off for holidays. As UK traders are also off for holiday today, somewhat lower liquidity may be present during the European morning.

Economic calendar is light today. Investors will be offered manufacturing PMI indices from Europe but those will be revisions to April's data and therefore are unlikely to have a major impact on the market. On the other hand, ISM manufacturing index for April at 3:00 pm BST may trigger some short-term volatility on the US dollar. While the FOMC is expected to announce its next monetary policy decision this Wednesday, ISM data is unlikely to change central bankers' view, who are expected to deliver a 50 basis point rate hike.
