France S&P Global Manufacturing PMI EUR

Medium impact Updated after every release

What this release is

The France S&P Global Manufacturing PMI, published monthly by S&P Global via markiteconomics.com, is a key indicator of business conditions within the French manufacturing sector. It surveys purchasing managers on various aspects of their operations, providing a timely snapshot of the sector’s health.

Forex traders monitor this release for insights into the economic momentum of France, a significant component of the Eurozone economy. Stronger manufacturing activity can signal broader economic growth, potentially influencing expectations for the European Central Bank’s monetary policy and, consequently, the Euro’s valuation.

After past releases, market attention typically focuses on the headline figure, with revisions to prior readings also watched. This monthly indicator carries a medium impact rating, reflecting its role in assessing the overall economic landscape without being a primary driver of immediate market shifts.

How we measure: moves come from our own MT4 price feed and our archived minute bars, sampled 5, 15 and 60 minutes after each release against the pre-release price. No estimates, no third-party numbers. Releases where our feed had a gap are skipped, never guessed.

These are counts of what happened after past releases, conditional on the surprise direction. They are history, not a forecast, and never a trade recommendation. Sample sizes are shown because small samples mislead; rows stay locked until the sample is honest.

Reaction = EURUSD move 60 minutes after the release, measured from our own price history. Story links appear for releases our news desk covered; every release gets a row here whether or not it gets a story. Values from before our live tracking began are the current figures in the official statistical series, so they include later revisions; live rows record the number as printed.

Market statistics, not financial advice. All reaction figures are measured from our own price feed under our published methodology.
