China PMI And Copper
A reading above 50 signals expansion in the sector, while a reading below that points to contraction. Trade risksBoosted by government infrastructure spending, a resilient property market and unexpected strength in exports, China's manufacturing and industrial firms were a major driver behind the solid economic growth past year. Although rates of increase in output and new orders eased further from the highs reached before the turn of the year, the sector is still enjoying one of its best growth spells over the past 18 years, IHS Markit said.
"Output rose at the fastest pace in ten months, while the expansion in purchasing activity was the sharpest since the end of 2016 as firms reported efforts to build inventories".
The sub-index for production fell sharply by 2.8 points to 52.2, and for new orders it was down to 51.0 from 52.6 in January. Indeed, the continued rise in export orders and an uplift in new orders from the domestic market provided evidence that the foundations for continued growth were still buoyant.
