Purchasing Managers´Index Report, May 2011Swedbank
The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) dropped 3.7 points in May to 56.1, the lowest level since November 2009, indicating the Swedish industrial economy is losing momentum in the spring. All component indices of the PMI declined, with new orders declining the most, followed by employment and delivery times. While industrial production plans remain unchanged, signaling continued expansion, new orders have leveled off in recent months. A significant decline in global commodity prices helped explain the drop in supplier prices.
This document provides a daily commodity report from Epic Research India including:
- Commodity contract prices for gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas, and other metals along with open interest
- News headlines about price movements in various commodities
- Analyst buy and sell recommendations for gold and silver futures contracts
- A calendar of upcoming economic data releases and events from countries around the world

It lists each student's name and ID number along with their grades in categories like coherence, analysis, presentation, drawing of pieces, polygons, typography, and more. Their total scores and averages are also included. Some students received very high grades while a few received very low grades of 1 across several categories.
The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for Swedish industry climbed to 61.5 in January 2011, up from 60.2 in December 2010, indicating continued strong growth. The index for production had the largest positive impact on the increase. Suppliers' commodity and intermediate goods prices also rose to their highest level in over four years. While production plans for the next six months remained positive, they were revised slightly downward from December.
Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is one of Sweden's fastest and most reliable leading economic indicator and it is produced monthly by Swedbank's Economic Research Department and SILF - an purchasing and logistics organisation. The PMI is produced both for the manufacturing industry and for the services sector.
The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) dropped from 61.3 in November to 60.2 in December, indicating slower but continued growth in the Swedish industrial economy. Lower growth in employment and production contributed to the decrease. New orders increased from November to December driven mainly by domestic demand, while commodity prices continued rising but at a slower pace than the previous month.

The PMI is produced both for the manufacturing industry and for the services sector.
The Purchasing Managers' Index for service companies (PMI-Services) fell marginally to 65.9 in January from 66 in December, still indicating strong activity in the private service sector. Most component indices increased except supplier delivery times. Service companies revised their planned business volumes upward to a record high of 78.5, retaining a positive six-month outlook. Cost pressures increased for service companies as suppliers' intermediate goods prices rose.
Purchasing Managers' Index Services - September 5, 2012Swedbank
The Services PMI dropped from 54.8 in July to 50.8 in August, moderating the rise seen in July. All component indices declined except supplier delivery times. The employment index dropped significantly to 44.1, indicating weaker staffing needs among service companies. Despite the decline, indices except employment remained above 50, in the growth zone. Service companies remain cautiously optimistic about continued economic growth as the planned business activity index rose slightly.
Purchasing Managers´Index Report, August 2011Swedbank
The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) dropped to 48.7 in August 2011, falling out of the growth zone for the first time since May 2009 and indicating a slowdown in Sweden's industrial economy. Three of the PMI's five component indices also fell out of the growth zone, with new orders, production, and delivery times declining. Additionally, the index for supplier commodity prices dropped to its lowest level since summer 2009, reflecting weaker global commodity prices and economic cooling. Overall, the data suggests Sweden's industrial recovery has stalled as the economy slows.

The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for Swedish industry dropped from 48.7 in August to 48.1 in September, remaining below 50 which indicates contraction. This further slowdown suggests the Swedish industrial economy is stagnating or in recession. The components for delivery times, employment, and new orders all decreased, while producer price pressure continued falling due to lower global commodity prices and weak global economy. The production outlook was revised down due to worsening order levels, increasing the likelihood of limited hiring in industry over the coming months.

How to Invest in Cryptocurrency for Beginners: A Complete GuideDaniel
Cryptocurrency is digital money that operates independently of a central authority, utilizing cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments (fiat currencies), cryptocurrencies are decentralized and typically operate on a technology called blockchain. Each cryptocurrency transaction is recorded on a public ledger, ensuring transparency and security.
Cryptocurrencies can be used for various purposes, including online purchases, investment opportunities, and as a means of transferring value globally without the need for intermediaries like banks.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

PMI climbs to 58.2 in December – improved new orders
strengthen the industrial economy
• The PMI rose to 58.2 in December, up from 56.0 in November, thereby reaching the highest level
in 2009. The movement of the PMI further into the growth zone indicates that the Swedish
industrial economy strengthened in December.
• New orders accounted for the largest positive contribution to the PMI total. This was primarily due
to increased new orders from the home market, while new orders from the export market dropped.
The improved order scenario in industry also caused the production index to rise; it is now
approaching the 60 mark. Delivery times continue to increase (56.3 in December), which is yet
another sign of a strengthening Swedish industrial economy, albeit from a low level.
• Industrial companies have ratcheted up their production plans for the next six months and the index
reached 67.4 in December, compared to 62.2 in November. At the same time, fewer industrial
companies are reducing their workforce, which caused the component index for employment to rise
to 49.5 in December.
• The index for commodity and intermediate goods prices dropped in December from 59.8 to 57.3,
despite rising global commodity prices. This index has climbed by 29.4 percentage points over the
past 12 months, but price pressure from the supply chain is significantly lower than it was in 2008.

Silf/Swedbank’s
Purchasing Managers’ Index
- objectives and methodology
History Silf (earlier I&L) and Swedbank AB. publ. (at that time Sparbanken Sweden)
make the first joint – internal – calculation of the “Purchasing Managers’ Index” for
the five indexes (PMI) in December 1994. Exactly one year later, the index was
publicly announced for the first time. In Sweden the Purchasing Managers’ Index
is known as the ICI index. The model for PMI is the ISM index (Institute for Supply
Management, formerly known as the NAPM index) – one of the most highly
regarded and well-recognized economic indicators in the United States. The ISM
index has existed since 1931 in the form of its predecessor, the NAPM index.

Calculation According to “diffusion index”. Positive changes are noted in percent for the five
sub indexes. The percentage of unchanged replies, multiplied by 0.5, is added to
this figure. Then the different sub indexes are weighted as described above to
reach the total index. The Purchasing Managers’ Index does not indicate activity
levels but rather monthly changes in industrial activity.
“Break-even” The dividing line between growth and decline – in line with US praxis – has been
drawn at a total index of 50. However, this boundary or “neutral growth zone”
should not be applied excessively. Rather, “Break-even” at 50 indicates a target
value.
