this number is available to subscribers a few minutes earlier than its general release to the public..............screwed up ,but there you go.
What's Chicago PMI?
There I was, happily keeping an eye on non-farm payrolls thinking that they were the be-all and end-all yesterday. Payroll data comes out, appear to be flat, and then when I'm least expecting it there's a double-whammy of the US opening up their strategic oil reserves and the Chicago PMI data. AUDUSD and GBPUSD shorts all gone to hell.
Is there a site that ranks these US announcements by importance?

each report is graded a-d.
generally, i am not a news based trader, so i never enter a position 10m before a report. when out, i then wait for the market to calm down a minute or 2 afterwards.
