China’s Economy Cools
China’s official manufacturing index fell to 50.4 in July from 50.9 in June, the weakest reading since February 2020 and below views for 50.8. The export orders subindex fell further below the break-even 50 level. The nonmanufacturing index dipped 0.2 point to 53.3, in line with estimates.
The report comes amid high raw material costs and extreme weather in parts of the country. It also comes amid a China crackdown vs. many industries, notably for-profit schools as well as internet and other data-centric companies. That’s hit China stocks on the mainland, Hong Kong and in New York.
