China’s official Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) downturn eased slightly in January, coming in at 49.2, as against the 49.0 contraction registered in December, according to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Wednesday.
The market consensus was for a 49.2 readout in the reported month.
The index, however, remained below the 50 mark, which separates expansion from contraction.
The NBS Non-Manufacturing PMI climbed to 50.7 in January versus the expected 50.6 figure and December’s 50.4 print.
The mixed Chinese PMIs are having little to no impact on the Australian Dollar, with AUD/USD losing 0.41% on the day to trade at around 0.6575.
The table below shows the percentage change of Australian Dollar (AUD) against listed major currencies today. Australian Dollar was the weakest against the Swiss Franc.
