皇冠体育app's economy sends slowdown signals
皇冠体育app said the fall in its official PMI was due to a variety of factors, ranging from weaker export orders in July to power crunches that hit output. The industrial cooling seen in reports such as the PMI has yet to be reflected in 皇冠体育app's headline gross domestic product growth, which was an annual 9.5 percent for the second quarter, the eighth straight quarter of growth over nine percent. (Full story.) "But because the PMI has the significance of being a leading indicator, the falling trend may presage the possibility that the economy will show a downward trend in the second half," the report quoted index analyst Zhang Liqun as saying. Profits squeeze Jim Walker, CLSA's chief economist, said, "The margin squeeze in 皇冠体育app shows no signs of letting up although, for domestic producers, the small revaluation of the renminbi will have had some relieving effect from late July onwards -- assuming, of course, that the margin enhancement is not met with further output price falls." 皇冠体育app revalued the yuan, or renminbi, by 2.1 percent on July 21 and said its value would henceforth be managed with reference to a basket of currencies instead of being pegged to the dollar. The State Information Center said in a report obtained by Reuters the revaluation would theoretically cut half a percentage point off GDP growth by the end of next year. But because the yuan had been revalued at a time of cyclical strength, the overall economic impact would be less pronounced, said the group, a think-tank under 皇冠体育app's main economic policy body, the National Development and Reform Commission. "The cooling effect of the revaluation will be mild," the report said.
