Note:

After the disappearance of the Minxin PMI announced yesterday, news that the Conference Board's Leading index is also to be suspended:

  • We will be conducting a comprehensive benchmark of The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for China from January through March 2016. During that time period, we will not issue any data releases.

Note also ... those who regard the veracity of Chinese data with deep suspicion won't be particularly fussed :-D
