SINGAPORE (Thomson Financial) - The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) continued to fall in April due to continued weakness in the manufacturing sector, which is reeling from falling exports, the Singapore Institute of Purchasing & Materials Management said Monday.

The overall manufacturing PMI fell to 49.3 points in April from 49.4 points in March, the institute said. A reading below 50 indicates a contraction.
