Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Chinese manufacturing data for October showed the nation’s recovery strengthening and export orders climbing, giving policy makers more room to pare stimulus measures in coming months.
Manufacturing expanded at the fastest pace in 18 months, according to a purchasing managers’ index released by HSBC Holdings Plc today and also a government-backed PMI released yesterday. The HSBC index rose to a seasonally adjusted 55.4 from 55 in September, an e-mailed statement showed.
