Over the weekend, we saw some terrible financial numbers from China which revealed that the Chinese economy remains in contraction currently, especially in production and services. The production PMI was currently in contraction in March, while in April it dived lower to 47.4 points.
Caixin production indication was up to 46.0 points, while services PMI was up to 41.9 points.

I do not believe this will last long, however it will have an unfavorable effect on products, apart from Gold which is a safe house, and petroleum which is trading geopolitics.
