China Manufacturing PMI’s For July Turned Lower

The official China PMI fell from 53.9 to 52.1; The HSBC/Markit PMI fell from 52.7 to 50.4.

From the China National Bureau of Statistics press release:

Economic growth is moderating, a rebound in exports is weakening, and slower domestic demand is leading to a build-upof finished-goods inventories.

Industrial production is entering a “light season” and the output of heavy energy users such as metal and oil processers contracted last month.

My comment is not needed if the China official agency says that.
