The SVME Purchasing Managers’ Index in Switzerland probably improved to 55.0 in April from 54.4 in the previous month, according to the median estimate by experts.

The SVME (Schweizerischer Verband für Materialwirtschaft und Einkauf) Purchasing Managers’ Index is an indicator that reflects the economic activity. It measures the activity level of managers in terms of production, employment, inventories, orders and deliveries. PMI includes data from manufacturing, services and construction. Values ​​above 50 indicate growth. The study is carried out by SVME in association with Credit Suisse.

The SVME is expected to release official data at 7:30 GMT. In case, the index improves more than expected, this will support demand for the Swiss franc.
