This is the private survey manufacturing PMI. It's a different survey, different firms surveyed than in the official survey we got earlier. Tending to be smaller firms than those in the official survey.

Caixin Manufacturing PMI 48.6
  • expected 49.2, prior 49.2
  • Output and new orders have fallen to their lowest since February
  • Export orders declined from May
  • Employment contraction for the 32nd consecutive month
Ugly. This is the 16th month of contraction. And a 4 month low.

Markit comments:
  • Conditions in Q2 considerably weaker than in Q1
