China official PMIs, manufacturing and services (and the accompanying 'composite' of the two) are due Tuesday 31 August 2021 at 0200 GMT.
China's official manufacturing PMI for August:
- expected 50.1
- 50.4 in July
Non-manufacturing PMI
- expected 52.0
- 53.3 in July
ING cites:
China's manufacturing PMI for August will reflect
- closures at marine ports and airports ... knock-on effects to trade and industry as well as tourism and leisure
- rapid spread of the Delta variant globally could also hurt overseas demand for Chinese goods
- Adding to these woes are sustained shortages of semiconductor chips.
The Caixin PMIs follow later in the wekk.
