The Caixin China General Composite PMI fell to 50.9 in January 2019 from 52.2 in the prior month. It was the weakest reading since October 2018, as the service sector grew the least in three months (PMI at 53.6 vs 53.9 in December); while factory activity shrank for the the second straight month, pointing to the lowest PMI reading since February 2016 (48.3 vs 49.7). New orders rose slightly, while employment growth stabilized. At the same time, export sales rose for the first time in ten months. On the price front, input cost inflation eased to the weakest in three years, while prices charged fell for the second month in a row. Looking ahead, businesses were generally optimistic. "Given that the government has refrained from taking policies of strong stimulus, the downward trend of the economy may be hard to turn around for the time being," said Zhengsheng Zhong, director of macroeconomic analysis at CEBM Group. Composite Pmi in China is reported by Markit Economics.
