China's Caixin/ S&P Global Maufacturing PMI for August arrived at 49.5 vs. 50.2 expected and 50.4 previous, showing that the country’s manufacturing sector activity returned to contraction.

“Manufacturing supply expanded while demand shrank. Although output increased for the third successive month, the rate of expansion was marginal due chiefly to power cuts caused by the heat wave, Wang added.
