This is a market about the ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for August 2026, as reported by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector relative to the previous month; a reading below 50 indicates contraction. This market will resolve to the bracket containing the ISM Manufacturing PMI for August 2026 according to the monthly ISM Manufacturing PMI Report On Business. The resolution source for this market will be the ISM Manufacturing PMI Report On Business released for August 2026 (https://www.ismworld.org/supply-management-news-and-reports/reports/ism-report-on-business/), currently scheduled to be released on September 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data. Note: although ISM describes the PMI reading using the term "percent" in its official release (e.g., "The Manufacturing PMI registered 52.7 percent"), the PMI is a diffusion index, not a true percentage. For the purposes of this market, the PMI reading will be treated as a plain numerical value, consistent with how the index is universally quoted in financial markets. Note: The ISM Manufacturing PMI is reported to one decimal point. Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving this market. If ISM does not release the relevant figures on the scheduled date, this market may remain open until the scheduled release time of the next ISM Manufacturing PMI report (https://www.ismworld.org/supply-management-news-and-reports/reports/rob-report-calendar/). If the information is not released by that time, this market will resolve according to the figures of the most recent previous month with available data.Recent July 2026 ISM Manufacturing PMI strength at 55.6—the highest since May 2022—anchors trader positioning for the August release, with the 55.0–55.9 range commanding 41.5% implied probability as the consensus outcome. Accelerated production (58.5), sustained new orders (56.7), and employment crossing into expansion (52.8) reflect broad-based momentum from AI-related capital spending, low customer inventories prompting restocking, and front-loading ahead of tariffs, though elevated prices near 71 and lengthening supplier deliveries introduce downside risks. Market-implied odds embed moderation from July’s pace while pricing in continued expansion above the 50 threshold, with the September 1 release serving as the immediate catalyst amid parallel data on S&P Global PMI and labor-market indicators.
