China came out today reporting factory activity having returned to expansion in Jan, with official manufacturing PMI coming in at 50.1, vs prev. 47, expected 49.8. Non-manufacturing PMI for Jan comes in at 54.4, vs prev. 41.6, expected 52. What is going on? Is this the start of a proper China recovery or a one off?

We combine liquidity, offshore/onshore markets, and actual physical Commodity flows to see if all the moves add up, after all physical markets lead everything, even if with a small lag.

Sign up as we tell you what the trade is going into this week’s Fed FOMC and where the opportunities lie. We guarantee the way we look at Commodities, no one does, as we look at the inner workings of all cross assets and the games being played by physical and financial Commodity players!
