China's manufacturing, and services, PMIs are expected to have declined in June:

  • Manufacturing expected 50.8, prior 51.0

China saw a resurgent wave of COVID-19 infections in the major industrial province of Guangdong. Morgan Stanley preview comments:

  • key drag would be COVID disruption on Shenzhen ports, accounting for about 7% of national exports

  • construction activity likely slowed amid higher raw material prices

  • expected 51.8
  • prior 52
