    China Caixin/S&P Global Manufacturing #PMI back under 50, 49.2 exp 50.3 (prior 50.5)

    Both manufacturing supply & demand contracted
    New export orders fell sharply in July, lowest since September
    Manufacturing job market continued to deteriorate

    Gauges for prices remained weak, with the reading for input costs and output prices coming in below 50 for the fourth and fifth consecutive months, respectively. Deflationary pressure continued to build.
    The July Politburo meeting highlighted that the current economy faces new difficulties and challenges, and that the external environment is complex and severe. The meeting emphasized the need to actively expand domestic demand and let consumption play a fundamental role in driving economic growth. In terms of policies, guaranteeing employment, stabilizing expectations and increasing household income should still be the top priorities. At present, monetary policy only has limited effect on boosting supply. An expansionary fiscal policy that targets demand should be prioritized.
