China's July PMI down to 50.1

Both new orders and new export orders slowed further to 49 and 46.5 respectively due to still sluggish demand and seasonal effect, says OCBC.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

China’s July official PMI surprised the market on the downside slowing to 50.1 from 50.2 in June, in contrast to improvement seen in HSBC flash PMI.

For the breakdown, both new orders and new export orders slowed further to 49 and 46.5 respectively from 49.2 and 47.5 due to still sluggish demand and seasonal effect.

Import price fell further to 41 from 41.2 signaling falling price pressure. Finished goods inventory fell significantly to 48 from 52.3 leading to pickup in the difference between new order and finished goods.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
