Manufacturing contracts in China for the first time in 6 months

In the HSBC flash manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI), the flash PMI stood at 50.0 in November which is a six month low. The manufacturing output index on the other hand fell to 49.4, which represents a 7 month low.

A figure above 50 indicates an expansion for this index whereas below 50 shows a contraction in the industry.
