1. Select 100 commodities which covers Oil, Energy, Petrochemicals, Textiles, Metals, Non-ferrous and mostly represent the above 8 industries

2. Count the rising number(RN) and the falling number (FN)

3. Calculate the value of BCI by the formular of
    BCI=(RN-FN)/100

Based on the above mechanism, the BCI can show 3 points:

    1. BCI>0 indicates that China manufacturing industry economy is expanding;

    2. BCI=0 indicates that China manufacturing industry economy remains steady.

    3. BCI<0 indicates that China manufacturing industry economy is shrinking.
