Asian equity markets were mixed on Thursday as investors reacted to data showing China’s manufacturing activity contracted for a fifth straight month in August, but came in better than last month’s reading of 49.3 and a consensus forecast of 49.4. Still, the market remains supported by growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will end its tightening campaign amid signs that the US economy may be cooling. Shares in Japan and Hong Kong advanced, while Australian, South Korean and mainland China stocks struggled.

The official NBS Non-Manufacturing PMI for China declined to 51.0 in August 2023 from 51.5 a month earlier. The latest figure marked the softest increase in the service sector since December 2022, coming slightly less than market forecasts of 51.1, as both new orders (47.5 vs 48.1 in July) and foreign sales (47.9 vs 47.7) contracted for the fourth month in a row. Further, employment remained weak, declining for the fifth straight month (46.8 vs 46.6). That said, the delivery time index recovered from its lowest in six months during July (52.0 vs 51.4). On prices, input cost increased for the second straight month and at a steeper pace (51.7 vs 50.8), while selling prices stabilized after falling in the prior three months (50.0 vs 49.7). Finally, sentiment softened to an eight-month low (58.2 vs 59.0).

US stock futures were little changed on Thursday after the major averages advanced for the fourth straight day during Wednesday’s regular session. In extended trading, Salesforce jumped about 6% after the software firm reported better-than-expected second quarter results and third quarter guidance. In regular trading on Wednesday, the Dow rose 0.11%, the S&P 500 gained 0.38% and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.54%, with 9 out of the 11 S&P sectors ending higher led to the upside by technology, energy and industrials. Those moves came as weaker-than-expected US data suggested the Federal Reserve could be done with policy tightening, boosting equities. Updated GDP figures showed the US economy grew less than previously thought in the second quarter and job creation slowed more than expected in August according to ADP. Investors now look ahead to July personal consumption expenditures and weekly jobless claims data on Thursday.

Industrial production in Japan declined by 2.0% month-over-month in July 2023, compared with market forecasts of a 1.4% fall after a final 2.4% growth in the previous month, flash data showed. This was the third time of drop since the start of the year, mainly weighed by production machinery (-4.8% vs 0.3% in June), electronic parts and devices (-5.1% vs 6.8%), and electrical machinery, and information and communication equipment (-2.9% vs 1.5%). Onn a yearly basis, industrial output fell by 2.5% in July, compared with a flat reading in June.

The US economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.1% in the second quarter of 2023, compared to the preliminary figure of 2.4% and the first quarter's expansion of 2.0%. Downward revisions to both private inventory investment and nonresidential fixed investment were partially offset by an upward revision to state and local government spending. Growth rates eased for both consumer spending (1.7% vs 4.2% in Q1) and government consumption (3.3% vs 5.0%), while nonresidential fixed investment saw the most significant increase in almost a year (6.1% vs 0.6%). Meanwhile, exports experienced the largest decline since the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak in Q2 2020 (-10.6% vs 7.8% in Q1), and residential fixed investment slumped for the ninth consecutive period (-3.6% vs -4.0%). Additionally, private inventory investment had a negative contribution to the GDP.

Private businesses in the US hired 177 thousand workers in August 2023, the least in five months, missing market expectations of a 195 thousand rise and following an upwardly revised 371 thousand increase in July. The service-providing sector added 154 thousand jobs, led by education & health (52 thousand), trade, transportation & utilities (45 thousand), leisure & hospitality (30 thousand), professional & business (15 thousand) and information (5 thousand). Additionally, the goods-producing sector added 23 thousand jobs, with boosts in manufacturing (12 thousand), construction (6 thousand) and mining (5 thousand). "This month's numbers are consistent with the pace of job creation before the pandemic," said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. "After two years of exceptional gains tied to the recovery, we're moving toward more sustainable growth in pay and employment as the economic effects of the pandemic recede."
