Manufacturing activity in Asia’s major export powerhouses slumped further in August as weak demand persisted in the region’s key trade markets, particularly in China.
Factories in North Asia experienced weaker new orders, output and export sales, according to manufacturing purchasing managers’ surveys published Friday by S&P Global and au Jibun Bank.
The latest data dashes hopes of an easy turnaround for the region despite increasing signs of a soft landing in the US. The stubborn weakness of goods trade is dampened by the prospect of high borrowing costs in the US and Europe. China’s manufacturing activity fell for a fifth consecutive month in August, data showed Thursday. However, pickups in new orders and output provided hope the worst of a factory slump dragging on the nation’s economy may be ending.
