Economic calendar in Asia Tuesday, August 5, 2025 – China services PMI

Earlier this month we’ve had the official PMIs from China:

• China Manufacturing PMI (July 2025) 49.3 (vs. 49.7 expected)

and the S&P Manufacturing PMI:

• China Caixin July 2025 Manufacturing PMI 49.5 (expected 50.3, prior 50.4)

Today we get the final of main PMIs for July, S&P Services and S&P Composite PMIs. Both are expected to have slipped just a little from June but remain in expansion.

Also of note are the Bank of Japan June meeting minutes. These are a bit stale really. Since then we’ve had the July meeting with updated forecasts etc.:

• BOJ leaves short term at 0.5%, as expected

• InvestingLive Asia-Pacific FX news wrap: Chinese PMIs disappoint, BoJ on hold as expected
• investingLive European markets wrap: Yen falls on Ueda presser, US futures keep higher

• This snapshot from the economic data calendar
• The times in the left-most column are GMT.
• The numbers in the right-most column are the ‘prior’ (previous month/quarter as the case may be) result. The number in the column next to that, where there is a number, is the consensus median expected.
