Key quotes
"The index has risen steadily from the March 2014 cyclical low of 48.0."
" The July increase (in both the official and HSBC/Markit manufacturing PMIs) was at odds with the deceleration in sequential industrial production growth."
"We think the divergence explains the consensus forecast of a small dip in the index."
"The July economic data raised hopes of a broad PBOC easing via an RRR or a policy interest rate cut."
"We remain of the view that macro policy fine tuning, including of the home purchase restrictions, will support 7.5% GDP growth and there will be no broad monetary easing."
