A closely-watched measure shows that Chinese manufacturing defied expectations by expanding in the past month. The HSBC manufacturing PMI rose to 50.5 despite analyst predictions it will fall to the breakeven level of 50. The index provided a boost for the Australian Dollar and the local share market. While the headline figure is good, concerns remain about the declining size of the sector's workforce. And that data helps calm investor nerves today and helped push the Australian share market higher recovering most of yesterday's deep losses. Banks led the way:
The All Ordinary Index jumped 0.9 percent or 48-point. The ASX 200 Index up 1 percent.
Most of the miners managed gains by the close:
NHP Billiton and Rio Tinto edged higher. Fortescue Metals gained over 2 percent. The smaller players like Atlas Iron remain under pressure. Gold miners like Newcrest surged.
Turning across the region:
Japan's market down closed today but markets in Hong Kong and Shanghai are on the rise. And the Australian Dollar did have a rough night against the green back but rebounded today after the better-than-expected Chinese data, right now at 89.04 US cents. |
