June’s ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) is due on Tuesday. This report shows business conditions in the manufacturing sector and serves as a significant leading indicator of overall economic conditions.
There are also job openings data due on Tuesday, which could reflect conditions in the labor market.
Wednesday and Thursday will see more labor market reports, with nonfarm payrolls and unemployment figures released. These reports represent the number of new jobs created during the previous month, along with the percentage of people actively seeking employment.
They are significant economic indicators, as the shift in the number of jobs is strongly associated with overall economic health.
