The S&P Global Composite PMI is a key economic indicator that reflects the health of the manufacturing and services sectors. A decrease in the PMI, as reported for February, suggests a slight slowdown in economic activity. This could lead to short-term volatility in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) as investors react to the news. However, the change is relatively minor, and the PMI remains above the 50.0 threshold that separates expansion from contraction, which is why the score is neutral.
