Stronger orders give clue to PMI rebound.
According to CIMB, due partly to a holiday-shortened month, PMI was expected to dip slightly in Aug. However, the 1.3-pt mom dip to 50.5 was larger than expected.
CIMB said that the better news is that stronger orders point to a rebound in Sep’s PMI, so is a better-than expected tech PMI reading.
"On the back of stronger orders and output, Aug’s tech PMI added 1 pt to 51.3 (-0.2 pt in Jul), its best reading in three months. While the tech picture is encouraging, overall manufacturing is still mixed," CIMB said.
