CSRC Vows to Crack down on Futures Speculation

SHANGHAI, Dec. 2 (SMM) -- The US Institute for Supply Management (ISM) released on Wednesday that US Manufacturing Index for November rose for the 16th straight month to 56.6. Meanwhile, Chinas official and HSBC's Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) of China's manufacturing sector hit a multi-month high, a signal of steady economic growth in China. The positive economic data hampered the US dollar index from rebounding last week, with the index moving around 81.
