China's factory surge steps down a bit in January
In January, China's manufacturing sector stepped down a bit because the government's fierce clampdown on air pollution along with a cooling property market affected activity, as a Reuters survey disclosed.
However, the tempo of expansion is anticipated to stay relatively healthy, backing experts’ views that the world's number two economy will see only a moderate slowdown in surge in 2018 after a forecast-confounding 2017.
On Wednesday, the official manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index is believed to descend to 51.5 for January versus December’s reading of 51.6, as follows from a median estimate of 42 experts survey by Reuters.
