CHINA: Country Wrap: CAIXIN PMI Surprises to the Upside:
Jul-01 05:33
- China's CAIXIN PMI Manufacturing in June rose to 50.4, ahead of an expected 49.3. The official PMI released yesterday, released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), focuses on large and state-owned enterprises, while the Caixin PMI, compiled by Caixin Media and S&P Global, emphasizes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the private sector and arguably gives a better snapshot as to the broader economy. The index was considerably up from the prior month's result of 48.3. Output rose to 52.1 from 47.5 and new orders were up on prior month. This data captures the period post the agreement between the US and China on tariffs and potentially points to an improvement in activity. (source MNI)

GBPUSD is trading at its recent highs. The trend needle continues to point north and last week’s climb reinforces bullish conditions. Fresh cycle peaks maintain the price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Note too that MA studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant medium-term uptrend. Sights are on 1.3800 next. Initial support to watch lies at 1.3569, the 20-day EMA. A break would signal scope for a corrective pullback.
