HSBC China Manufacturing PMI
China Manufacturing PMI The HSBC China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, compiled by Markit, was +0.8 to a 4-month high of 49.6 in February. However, this was the 4th consecutive monthly manufacturing contraction and the 7th manufacturing contraction in the past 8 months. This reading is above the 32-month low of 47.7 in November, but still indicates ongoing stagnation and slight contraction. The Chinese government had implemented fiscal and monetary measures to slow down the economy to contain prices. However, policy is being reviewed, revised, and reversed to stimulate economic growth. The Chinese Federation of Logistics and Purchasing PMI was 51.0 (+0.5) for February, indicating expansion.
