China Manufacturing Activity Holds in Expansion Zone for Second Straight Month

China official manufacturing PMI reached 50.3 in April, staying above the expansion threshold for a second consecutive month, though growth slowed slightly from March. The services PMI fell to 49.4, entering contraction territory.

The Chinese government released April manufacturing data. The official manufacturing index is 50.3, which is above the 50-point expansion threshold. The manufacturing sector has expanded for the 13th consecutive month, though the growth rate has slowed. The services sector is booming with the services index at 52.5. Official economic analysts attribute this growth to strong demand in the services sector and continued government fiscal stimulus. Consumer spending is still subdued, preventing faster economic growth. Economists expect manufacturing to maintain modest growth in the coming months due to ongoing policy support.
