China Watch: Rebound In PMI Alleviates Hard Landing Concerns

China's manufacturing PMI climbed for a second consecutive month, by +0.3 points, to 51.2 in September, reversing the declining trend formed since March. The report suggested China's manufacturing activities have stabilized modestly and should alleviate some concerns on a hard landing. However, the seasonally-adjusted picture appeared less rosy with the index falling to 51.3 from 51.7 in August. The index compiled by HSBC PMI was revised higher to 49.9, same as Augusts' reading and staying below the expansion-contraction threshold of 50. Therefore, investors should not turn too optimistic about the country's manufacturing sector yet.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.9030

As the greenback has retreated after faltering below indicated previous resistance at 0.9144, suggesting consolidation below intra-day high of 0.9129  would take place and pullback to the Kijun-Sen (now at 0.9060) would be seen, however, renewed buying interest should emerge above previous resistance at 0.9022 and bring another rise later. A break indicated resistance at 0.9144 would confirm the correction from 0.9183 has ended at 0.8918, bring resumption of upmove for a retest of 0.9183 later.

Trade Idea: EUR/JPY – Target met and sell again at 103.90

Friday’s anticipated selloff adds credence to our view that correction from 101.95 has ended at 104.96 last week (our short position entered at 104.50 met target at 102.50) and bearishness remains for recent decline to resume after consolidation, break of said support at 101.95 would extend weakness to 101.50 and possibly towards 101.00, however, loss of momentum would prevent sharp fall below there and reckon 100.50 would hold.
