Incoming data: March MNI China Business Flash Indicator at 0135GMT

On the last Friday of each month the final MNI China Business Indicator is released.

But today is the Friday before the last Friday of the month, so we get the ‘flash’ reading, which provides a good guide to what the final figure is going to be.

0135GMT is the scheduled release time.

Recent results:

• 58.2 in March,
