US Chicago PMI: next release date and history

What it measures

Chicago-area business conditions survey.

Why traders watch it

Last regional look before national ISM; occasionally leaks early to subscribers, causing odd pre-print moves.

Usual market effect. Actual above forecast is typically good for the dollar.
