    China's Service Sector Grows Most Since 2010

    China's service sector expanded at the fastest pace in more than a decade in June, driven by strong orders as measures related to the coronavirus pandemic were relaxed, survey data from IHS Markit showed Friday.

    The Caixin services Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 58.4 in June from 55.0 in May. The rate of expansion was the fastest since April 2010. A score above 50 indicates expansion in the sector.

    Total new orders advanced at the quickest pace since August 2010 driven by improving market conditions and new export work expanded for the first time since January.

    Firms widely reported that overall market conditions had continued to improve following an easing of measures related to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

    Nonetheless, service providers reported another fall in workforce numbers. As new business increased, outstanding workloads logged a renewed rise in June. On the price front, the survey showed a slight drop in input prices at the end of the second quarter. At the same time, prices charged by services companies were broadly unchanged in June, thereby ending a six-month period of decline.

    Service providers expressed stronger optimism towards the 12-month outlook for business activity in June.

    The composite output index rose to 55.7 in June from 54.5 in May, to signal a sharp and accelerated increase in overall Chinese business activity.

    "Although businesses were optimistic about the economic outlook, they remained cautious about increasing hiring, with employment in both the manufacturing and services sectors shrinking," Wang Zhe, a senior economist at Caixin Insight Group said. Addressing the employment problem requires not only macro policies to further promote work resumption, but also more targeted relief measures introduced by governments to tide companies over, said Wang.

    Hong Kong Private Sector PMI Improves To 49.6 In June - IHS Markit

    The private sector in Hong Kong continued to contract in June, albeit at a much slower rate, the latest survey from IHS Markey revealed on Monday with a PMI score of 49.6.

    That's up from 43.9 in May, although it remains beneath the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

    Individually, output and new orders fell at the slowest rate in more than two years. Employment levels were broadly stable and input cost inflation returned.

    Firms were less pessimistic about the year-ahead outlook during June than in May, with confidence rising to a five-month high.

    Gold Subdued As Equities Edge Higher Gold prices were flat to slightly lower on Wednesday and equities edged higher as traders cheered positive updates on a potential Covid-19 vaccine and pinned hopes on EU stimulus.

    Biotech firm Moderna said its experimental vaccine for Covid-19, mRNA-1273, showed it was safe and produced strong immune responses in all 45 patients in an ongoing early-stage human trial.

    EU leaders are set to meet later this week for an extraordinary summit and it is expected that they will agree on a recovery fund of 750 billion euros for pandemic-hammered economies.

    Both spot gold and U.S. gold futures were down 0.1 percent at $1,811.85 per ounce and $1,811.95, respectively. Diplomatic tensions between the United States and China as well as concerns over the recovery of the global economy helped limit the downside for the yellow metal.

    After U.S. President Donald Trump ordered an end to Hong Kong's special status under U.S. law, Beijing vowed retaliatory sanctions against U.S. individuals and entities.

    "Hong Kong affairs are purely China's internal affairs and no foreign country has the right to interfere," China's foreign ministry said.

    U.S. Federal Reserve officials warned that the U.S. economy will recover more slowly than expected, as cases continue to surge across the country leading many states to impose restrictions on movement and stay-at-home advisories.

    China's Industrial Profits Increase At Faster Pace

    China's industrial profits increased at a faster pace of June as easing of the coronavirus containment measures boosted manufacturing activity, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Monday.

    Industrial profits grew 11.5 percent on a yearly basis in June, following a 6 percent rise in May.

    Profits of steel 35.3 percent and that of non-ferrous metals grew 24.1 percent in June.

    Malaysia Manufacturing Sector Steady In July - Markit Economics

    The manufacturing sector in Malaysia was roughly flat in July, the latest survey from Markit Economics showed on Monday with a manufacturing PMI score of 50.0.

    That's down from 51.0 in June and it now sits right on the line that separates expansion from contraction.

    Individually, output rose for the second straight month, while firms remained optimistic about their 12-month outlook.

    Input prices rose at their fastest pace since October 2018.

    A lack of pressure on capacity, and efforts to limit input costs, led to further caution among manufacturers when making hiring decisions. Employment was consequently scaled back for the fourth month running.
