“The Caixin China General Manufacturing Purchasing
Managers’ Index eased to 50.2 in April, down from a recent
high of 50.8 in the previous month, indicating a slowing
expansion in the manufacturing sector.
1) The subindex for new orders fell slightly despite
remaining in expansionary territory. The gauge for new export
orders returned to contractionary territory, suggesting cooling
overseas demand.
2) The output subindex dropped. The employment
subindex returned to negative territory after hitting a 74-month
high in March. According to data from the National Bureau of
Statistics, the surveyed urban unemployment rate remained at
a relatively high level despite edging down in March,
suggesting that pressure on the job market remained.
3) While the subindex for stocks of purchased items
returned to contractionary territory, the measure for stocks of
finished goods fell more markedly. The gauge for future output
edged up, pointing to manufacturers’ desire to produce and
stable product demand. The subindex for suppliers’ delivery
times rose further despite staying in negative territory, implying
improvement in manufacturers’ capital turnover.
4) Both gauges for output charges and input costs edged
down. There were only small changes in upward pressure on
industrial product prices. We predict that April’s producer price
index is likely to remain basically unchanged from the previous
month.
