PMI for Kina fra Markit – læs hele meddelelsen her:
“The Caixin China General Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index was 49.4 in June, the second lowest since June 2016, indicating a clear contraction in the manufacturing
sector.
1) The subindex for new orders slid into contractionary territory, pointing to notably shrinking domestic demand. The gauge for new export orders returned to contractionary territory, but was better than the levels seen from last April to last December. Front-loading by exporters was likely to support this gauge as the China-U.S. trade relationship was under great uncertainty.
2) The output subindex fell into contractionary territory. The employment subindex remained relatively stable in negative territory, likely due to government policies to stabilize the job market. The State Council set up a leading group on employment in late May.
3) While the subindex for stocks of purchased items remained slightly higher than the 50 mark that divides expansion from contraction, the measure for stocks of finished
goods stayed in contractionary territory, indicating that manufacturers were reluctant to replenish them. The subindex of suppliers’ delivery times stayed in contractionary territory,
pointing to delayed delivery and also suggesting relatively low inventory levels and willingness to restock.
4) The gauges for input costs and output prices both edged up into expansionary territory. Due to supply-side structural reform, prices of industrial products remained stable.
5) The subindex measuring sentiment toward future output plunged further, albeit staying in expansionary territory, a reflection of continuously weakening business confidence amid
the Sino-U.S. trade conflict.
Overall, China’s economy came under further pressure in June.
