HSBC Flash PMI jumped to 51.2 in September, with a broad based improvement in manufacturing. There was a noticeable improvement in new export orders.
This is also up from a reading of 50.1 in August.
The recent strength in the industrial production data is also positive for manufacturing. And an improvement in both the HSBC and official PMI numbers (the latter due on Tuesday) will add to signs that China's economy is stabilizing.
