What a surprise usually does
Above the forecast: A clear beat or upward revision can modestly support sterling, especially if the index is above 50. The impact is usually limited after the flash release.
Below the forecast: A miss or downward revision can modestly weaken sterling if it points to softer manufacturing activity. A major revision is more likely to move markets than a small miss.
In line with the forecast: Sterling usually moves little when the final figure confirms the flash estimate.
