The ISM Manufacturing New Orders Index measures the change in the number of new orders received by manufacturers during the month. As a leading component of the overall Manufacturing PMI, it provides early signals of industrial production trends. Growth in new orders suggests that factories will remain busy and may increase hiring to meet demand.
Based on a survey of purchasing managers in the manufacturing sector. The index is calculated by taking the percentage of respondents reporting 'higher' orders plus half of those reporting 'same' orders.
