The manufacturing PMI missed consensus, but this is a soft miss, not a growth shock. The print stays above 50, so it still signals expansion; the market reads that as a mild downside surprise rather than a recession warning. That keeps the Fed on hold, but it does not force a tighter path, which is

Services activity accelerated sharply above forecast and above the prior reading, which tells the market the U.S. economy is not rolling over fast enough to force an immediate dovish repricing from the Fed. The first-order reaction is higher U.S. y
[PPI printed flat at 0.0% versus 0.2% expected, after a -0.3% prior reading. That is a clean downside miss, not a one-off noise print.

Core Retail Sales missed hard at -0.3% versus +0.2% expected, and the prior was already negative at -0.2%.
