China manufacturing hits three-month low in flash PMI

The HSBC flash China purchasing managers index survey has
recorded a result of 50.3, down from 51.7, for August.

The interim result is weighted towards smaller,
privately-owned firms. It represents a three-month low, reports Market Watch.

HSBC’s chief China economist Hongbin Qu said that data
pointed to the economic recovery in China continuing, but this had slowed.

“…[I]ndustrial
demand and investment activity growth will likely stay on a relatively subdued
path,” he said in a statement.

China’s economy grew 7.5 per cent overall, year-on-year, for
the second quarter. This was slightly up on a 7.4 per cent result in the first
quarter.
