December's PMI data just came in for Saudi Arabia's non-oil private sector—and it's signaling a slowdown. When you strip away the oil dependency, this matters more than people think.

The Kingdom's been pushing hard on diversification through Vision 2030, but the numbers show friction building in the broader economy. A contracting PMI means businesses are pulling back on new orders, employment's softening, and growth momentum is losing steam.

Why does this land on your radar? Because macro headwinds ripple through asset classes. When major economies like Saudi's pivot shows stress points, capital flows shift. Traders and investors watch these regional economic indicators as breadcrumbs—they hint at where global sentiment's heading next, which directly affects crypto and alternative asset flows.

Keep an eye on whether this is a seasonal blip or the start of a deeper contraction. The PMI data is worth tracking alongside Fed moves and other macro signals shaping 2025.

Saudi Arabia's non-oil PMI contracts, and the Vision 2030 plan can't hold up either --- Here we go again, talking about macro impacts on capital flows... Basically, just looking for reasons for the crypto market --- If this wave of economic slowdown really happens, where will the funds go? It still depends on the Fed's stance --- Is the PMI decline seasonal or a trend? That's the key, otherwise it's all pointless --- Saudi Arabia's non-oil economy is so weak, thank goodness for oil --- Wait, what's the inevitable connection between this and crypto inflows? Feels like this logic is a bit far-fetched

Is the non-oil sector in Saudi Arabia really going to cool down? Why does Vision 2030 seem to be getting more and more complicated...

Saudi non-oil economy contracts, now this is interesting... Is the Vision 2030 dream shattered? Where's the promised diversification? The data looks so grim. PMI plummets, let's see where the funds will flow. Is this seasonal, or is it really cooling off? Need to keep observing. This wave is definitely worth watching, as it relates to the overall market rhythm in 2025.

Saudi non-oil industry PMI contracts, and Vision 2030 is a bit underwhelming... Now the capital flow needs to be reassessed.

Saudi Arabia's non-oil industries are really starting to break through; it seems that Vision 2030 isn't going as smoothly as expected.
