China Caixin Manufacturing PMI

The Caixin China General Manufacturing PMI rose to 50.4 in August 2019 from 49.9 in the previous month, beating market expectations of 49.8. The latest reading pointed to the strongest pace of expansion in the manufacturing sector since March, as production grew the most in five months and both employment and new order intakes were broadly stable, despite the fastest decline in export sales since last November. Also, buying activity increased slightly for the second month running, while stocks of finished goods rose for the first time this year. On the price front, input costs dropped the most since January 2016 on the back of widespread reports of reduced raw material prices, while output charges fell at the steepest rate since December 2015. Finally, business sentiment weakened to a level that was among the lowest in the series history, largely due to concerns over the ongoing China-US trade dispute and signs of a slowing global economy. Manufacturing PMI in China is reported by Markit Economics.

Manufacturing PMI in China is expected to be 50.70 by the end of this quarter, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. Looking forward, we estimate Manufacturing PMI in China to stand at 50.20 in 12 months time. In the long-term, the China Caixin Manufacturing PMI is projected to trend around 50.40 in 2020, according to our econometric models.
