A furia di essere costretta a fare tightening ed a "tirare le briglie" per paura dell'inflazione galoppante (in particolare sul food)
a luglio l'indice manifatturiero della Cina è entrato in CONTRAZIONE a 48,9 punti ovvero ai minimi degli ultimi 28 mesi.
(50 è il confine tra espansione e contrazione).
.....The July Flash PMI from HSBC is showing a contraction.
The latest reading came in at 48.9 which is a 28 month low.
Readings below 50 show contraction.
Is China’s inflation problem finally leading to the inevitable contraction?
And more importantly, how will US equities respond to the fact that one of their primary revenue sources is slowing?
.....“Headline flash PMI fell below 50 for the first time since July 2010, suggesting slowing momentum of manufacturing activities.
This implies that June’s rebound in industrial production was just temporary.
We expect industrial growth to decelerate in the coming months as tightening measures continue to filter through.
That said, resilience of consumer spending and continued investment in a massive amount of infrastructure projects should support a nearly 9% rate of GDP growth in the rest of the year.”
