Today dawned with fresh data out of China. The preliminary Caixin China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, a gauge of nationwide manufacturing activity, fell to 47.0 in September, compared with a final reading of 47.3 in August, Caixin Media Co. and research firm Markit said. The reading—which at below 50 indicates contraction—was at its lowest since March 2009, when China was mired in the global financial crisis.
A sprinkling of purchasing managers’ surveys from Europe missed some industry analyst forecasts, but were strong enough to reflect expansion, helping stocks to swing at least temporarily higher there.
Crude Stockpile Drawdown. The American Petroleum Institute data indicated U.S. crude stockpiles fell 3.7 million barrels last week, more than industry analysts forecast. Stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma delivery location were down almost 500,000 barrels, as those analysts argue that weak prices are denting interest in U.S. production. Crude oil futures prices are higher early Wednesday, likely a reflection of the supply data and the Chinese manufacturing data disappointment. The U.S. government's Energy Information Administration releases its own report on supply later today.
Volkswagen AG (OTC: VLKAY) Could Dent German Economy. As for Europe, attention remains fully fixed on Germany’s stock market and its economy, where the vital auto industry’s reach hits many supporting jobs in some way. Industry economists and German government officials are busy trying to estimate the broad impact of the Volkswagen emissions scandal on its auto industry and German GDP, while the risk of softer Chinese demand for German cars and more could hurt, too. The U.S. EPA has charged that VW installed illegal “defeat device” software to cheat emission tests, allowing its cars to produce up to 40 times more pollution than allowed. A European auto maker trade group said there’s no evidence to date that the emissions abuses are an industry-wide issue. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi will give his quarterly hearing before the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs of the European Parliament today. Investors are waiting to hear if China’s bumps and the potential impact on the euro-zone will nudge the ECB toward more quantitative easing.
Cisco in China Talks? Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) is reportedly to announce a partnership in China’s upstart server market with Inspur Group, financial media says.
