Recent October ISM Manufacturing PMI strength at 55.5, exceeding consensus of 54.6 and marking the tenth consecutive expansion, anchors trader positioning for the November reading. The production index surged to 59.0—its highest since late 2021—while new orders held at 55.5 amid sustained demand in AI, data centers, and semiconductors. Elevated input costs, with the prices index at 75.2, alongside tariff uncertainty and supply constraints, temper expectations for further acceleration. Market-implied odds cluster around 55.0-55.9 at 42.5 percent, reflecting momentum tempered by potential moderation. The December 1 release will resolve the contract, with labor market and inflation data releases providing additional context for any shifts in the implied rate path.
