From China's NBS
Manufacturing PMI: 50.1 meets expectations ...
- expected 50.1
- 50.4 in July
Non-manufacturing PMI at 47.5 and missing the expected ... a big miss
- expected 52.0
- 53.3 in July
- The services sector is hit harder by COVID-19 response restrictions, certainly so for China in August.
Composite 48.8 ( July was 52.4)
