UK Services PMI comes out at 04:30 am New York Time once every month.

PMI stands for Purchasing Managers Index. What they do is survey executives in services industry by asking them a series of questions about their expectations for sales, employment, and inventories, such as are you planning to fire, hire, or stay unchanged on new workers in the near future? Then they average out all the answers, and they get a number anywhere between 1 and 100.

Businesses that fall under services are hotel and restaurants, financial institutions, communication businesses, transport businesses, et cetera.

A number of 50 means that on average, the services industry in the UK did not improve over previously measured month. A number above 50 means that the services industry expanded over previously measured month. A number below 50 means that the services industry contracted over previously measured month.

A better than expected number is usually good for Great British Pound, so GBP/USD tends to go up. A worse than expected number is usually bad for Great British Pound, so GBP/USD tends to go down.
