Talk:Purchasing Managers' Index

Definitions
The PMI needs definitions. For example what is Output Charges and why does the overall PMI fall when Output charges rise. This needs to be defined for each sub component of each index. Also the construction of the headline or composite PMI is confusing. Often both the MFG and Service PMI will both drop and the Composite will rise and vice versa. Calls into Markit by our company have yielded little information how this can occur, at least logically. We've also seen months were the MFG PMI will rise by 0.1 and the Service PMI will rise by 0.3 and the Total PMI will rise by 0.7. Bizarre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjdon67 (talk • contribs) 18:41, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
