China manufacturing rebounds in June: HSBC

Is the recovery sustainable?

The HSBC Flash China Manufacturing PMI reading rebounded to a year to date high of 50.8 in June, which came in much stronger than consensus expectations of 49.7 and is the highest reading since November 2013.

According to HSBC, the improvement was broad-based with both domestic orders and external demand sub-indices in expansionary territory. Inventory reduction quickened.

“This month's improvement is consistent with data suggesting that the authorities' mini-stimulus are filtering through to the real economy. Over the next few months, infrastructure investments and related sectors will continue to support the recovery. We expect policy makers to continue their current path of accommodative policy stance until the recovery is sustained,” noted the report.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
