本周对市场冲击最大应该是美国PMI数据。市场预测制造业PMI为52.6,服务业PMI为53.5,但最终结果分别为50.6与50.9。Mrkit的PMI报告中提到:
-firms put the brakes on hiring. The latest increase in employment was only marginal and the smallest for just over two years. Companies also noted little strain on capacity due to weak demand, and reported the first decline in backlogs of work since June 2017.(经济情况恶化使得企业减缓雇佣速度)
-A decline in the headline ‘flash’ PMI to its lowest for three years pushes the survey data down to a level historically consistent with GDP growing at an annualised rate of just 1.2% in May. (5月年化GDP增长仅为1.2%)
-The slowdown has been led by manufacturing, but shows increasing signs of spreading to services. (经济放缓主要由制造业引领,但更多迹象表明影响已扩大到服务业)
