The official China PMI was published on Sunday and declined to 51.6 in December, sliding from November’s reading of 51.8, although in line with estimates from market experts in a Reuters survey. However, the overall reading was still firm enough, and marked the 18th straight month of expanding. The 50-point level traditionally divides surge from contraction on a monthly basis.
