The April ISM Non-manufacturing index was reported today and was at 53.45, down 2.52%
from the previous month. All four components of NMI, the non-manufacturing
index, were down month over month. On the other hand, PMI in the Manufacturing index that was released Tuesday was up month
over month. I have averaged the Manufacturing and Non-manufacturing components to create a composite reading.
A reading above 50 percent indicates the sector is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates the is generally contracting.

Below is an interactive graph. You can interact with the
graph by choosing what to display. The INDICATOR category contains all 10 areas
surveyed as well as the PMI and NMI composites. The choices in the MA/NMA
category allow you to view the Manufacturing report (MA), the Non-manufacturing
report (NMA), and a composite of the two.
The DATES category allows you to
view specific periods of time.
If you left click on a category, the chart will update with
only data for that item in that category. If you hold the CONTROL button down
while left clicking, it will toggle that item on and off while leaving the
other items in that category the same allowing you to add or subtract items. If
you hold the SHIFT key down while left clicking, it will add all items in
between where you clicked and the item you last clicked. You can clear all
selections in a category by clicking the Filter Icon on the top right of each
category (looks like a funnel with a X). You can also refresh the page to bring
it back to its original state.

Furthermore, these charts have limitations. Economic data is often revised after the fact. The market is forward looking and anticipates future events. The unexpected can and will happen. The market is continually changing. The conditions of the past are different from the present. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.
