Actual Expected Previous
51.3   51.9   52.2  S&P U.S. manufacturing PMI (flash) Aug.
44.1   49.0   47.3  S&P U.S. services PMI (flash) Aug.
511k  574k   585k  New home sales (SAAR) July
 
On the S&P manufacturing and services PMI - anything over 50 is expansion, anything under 50 is contraction. So its nice to see the manufacturing expanding, but services is far larger than manufacturing in the U.S., and unfortunately that is contraction.
