• The Chinese Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index rose from 49.0 in February to nine-month high of 50.2 in March.
   
• On the other side, China’s Caixin manufacturing PMI for March came in at 49.7, better than the level of 48.3 expected and 48.0 for the final in February.
   
• PBOC Sets Yuan Mid-Point at 6.4585 / Dlr Vs Last Close 6.4490.
   
• Intraday bias remains bullish for the moment.
   
• A daily close below 6.4548 will drag the parity down towards key supports at 6.4526/6.4351/6.4155 marks.
   
• Alternatively, reversal from key support will drag the parity up around 6.4683/6.4910/ 6.5374/6.5580 levels.

Positioning is inconclusive at this point, with prices offering no clear cut signal to initiate a long or short trade. We will continue to remain on sidelines for the time being.
