Official July PMIs from China will be out on Friday this week,

  • manufacturing expected 51.0, prior 51.2
  • non-manufacturing prior 54.0
  • composite prior 53.6

Mark that on your calendars. Due at 0100GMT August 30.

Its the manufacturing number that'll be the focus, its expected to have slowed just a touch after indicators from elsewhere show slightly down production of steel and consumption of coal.
