The final HSBC China manufacturing PMI will be released on Saturday.

The flash PMI was 47.8 after a reading of 47.6 in August. The index has been below 50 throughout the year.

The official government manufacturing PMI is Monday but China is closed next week for national holidays. In Australia, Monday is also a holiday.

It’s also the first trading day of a new month/quarter.

The takeaway is that there could be some sloppy, choppy trading when markets re-open.
