8/22/2012 6:30 PM ET

China will on Thursday see the August results of the HSBC flash manufacturing PMI, highlighting a light day for Asia-Pacific economic activity. The index came in at 49.3 in July, just under the cutoff at 50 that signals contraction.

China also will see the July results of the leading and coincident indexes from the Conference Board; in June, they were up 0.1 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively.

Singapore will provide consumer price index data for July; in June, inflation was flat on month and up 5.3 percent on year.
