The actual PMI figure fell short of the analyst estimate of 54.6, suggesting a softer-than-expected expansion in economic activity. This miss may weigh on market sentiment, particularly affecting sectors sensitive to economic cycles such as manufacturing and services. The impact is likely to be short-term, driven by immediate sentiment shifts rather than long-term policy changes.
