China Manufacturing PMI Weakens In July - NBS
(RTTNews) - The manufacturing sector in China continued to contract in July, and at a slightly faster rate, the latest survey from the National Bureau of Statistics revealed on Wednesday with a manufacturing PMI score of 49.4.

The survey also showed that the non-manufacturing PMI came in at 50.2 - again matching forecasts and easing from 50.5 - but still expanding.
The composite PMI was also at 50.2, down from 50.5 a month earlier.
