CHINA MANUFACTURING PMI UNCHANGED, ACCELERATING IN TREND TERMS Perhaps of more relevance to Australia, the separate Steel industry PMI gauge slumped to 43.6 from 48.4 in August with output, new orders, new export orders and and inventories of raw materials all deteriorating during the month. Perhaps of more concern from a future demand perspective, inventories of finished goods rose to 60.9, the highest level seen this year. With orders weak and inventories overflowing, it certainly doesn't bode well for iron ore pricing, and potentially, demand.
