Moderate deterioration in China's manufacturing sector

FXStreet (Bali) - The final Flash China Manufacturing PMI came at 48.5 vs 48.5 expected and 49.5 previous, a 7-month low, as Chinese manufacturing sector continues to deteriorate.

Commenting on the China Manufacturing PMI™ survey, Hongbin Qu, Chief Economist, China & Co-Head of Asian Economic Research at HSBC said: “The final reading of the HSBC China Manufacturing PMI confirmed the weakness of manufacturing growth. Signs become clear that the risks to GDP growth are tilting to the downside. This calls for policy fine-tuning measures to stabilise market expectations and steady the pace of growth in the coming quarter."
