China's official manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for October has fallen to 49.0, marking a six-month low. This is lower than the expected 49.6 and a slight decrease from the previous month's 49.8. On the other hand, China's official non-manufacturing PMI for October has remained stable at 50.1, meeting expectations and consistent with the previous month's reading of 50.0. The decline in the manufacturing PMI is a concerning sign for the Chinese economy, which has been facing challenges in recent months. The data was released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, and the full report can be found on their website.
