[Analysis: U.S. July PMI Preliminary Data May Underestimate the Impact of the Middle East Situation] Odaily Planet Daily News – Analysts at Rabobank have warned that the U.S. July PMI preliminary data, set to be released tonight, may not fully reflect recent changes in geopolitics and the commodities market. The analysts pointed out that the July survey was likely conducted over the past two weeks, so if a significant number of respondents answered earlier, they may not have fully accounted for the current developments in the Middle East situation or the impact of this week's rise in oil prices. As a result, the survey results may contain biases. (Jin10)
