China Caixin/IHS Markit February manufacturing PMI arrived at 50.9 vs 51.5 in January.
AUD/USD is stable on the data.
Reuters explained ''China's factory activity expanded at the slowest pace in nine months in February as weak overseas demand and coronavirus flare-ups weighed on output, adding pressure on the country's labour market, a business survey showed on Monday.''
''The slowdown in the manufacturing sector underscores the fragility of the ongoing economic recovery in China, although domestic COVID-19 cases have since been stamped out and analysts expect a strong rebound in full-year growth.''
