    China House Prices Growth Continues To Slow



    House prices in China rose at a slower rate in May, figures from Reuters based on a National Bureau of Statistics report showed on Wednesday.

    New house prices in the major cities of China increased 5.6 percent year-over-year in May compared with a 6.7 percent rise in April. The growth in house prices has been slow since late 2013 due to the effect of a sustained campaign to keep a check on speculative investment and easy credit, the bureau said.

    The slower rate of growth in the housing market, accounting for 20 percent of China's GDP, dragged the first quarter GDP to 7.4 percent year-over-year.

    Japan Manufacturing PMI Rises To 51.1 In May - Markit



    An index monitoring the manufacturing sector in Japan came in with a score of 51.1 in May, the latest survey from Markit Economics revealed on Monday - up from 49.9 in April.

    That pushes the index into expansionary territory, as a score above 50 signals growth in a sector while a reading below means contraction.

    Among the individual components of the survey, the output index rose for the first time in three months to 51.8 - signaling expansion.

    New orders also moved into growth, while input prices, stocks of purchases, stocks of finished goods and quantity of purchases continued to expand.

    New export orders, employment, backlogs of work and output prices slowed, and supplier delivery times were unchanged.

    China Leading Index Slows To 0.7% In May - Conference Board



    A leading economic index for China continued to expand in May, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from the Conference Board revealed on Tuesday.

    The group's leading economic index was up 0.7 percent last month to a score of 290.2. That follows 1.0 percent increases in both April and March.

    The coincident index was also up 0.7 percent in May, the data showed, with a score of 259.7. That was unchanged from the previous month and down from 1.5 percent in March.

    "While the Leading Economic Index for China increased in May, its rate of increase has slowed considerably in recent months. The LEI, and its underlying components, suggest continued weaknesses in China's real economy in the coming months," said Jing Sima, Economist at The Conference Board.

    "April's sharp improvement in the real estate sector was short-lived and consumers remain in a pessimistic mood. Moreover, the Coincident Economic Index indicates the rate of current economic activity is substantially lower than last year."
