China Composite Pmi

The Caixin China General Composite PMI declined to 51.5 in May 2019 from 52.7 in the prior month and reaching the lowest reading since February. Services growth slowed to a three-month low (PMI at 52.7 vs 54.5 in April), while manufacturing output was broadly stable following a three-month sequence of expansion (PMI at 50.2). New orders increased at the softest pace in three months and the job creation rate dropped for the first time since February albeit at a fractional pace. Also, backlogs of work remained broadly unchanged. Meanwhile, new export sales advanced slightly. On the price front, input prices rose at a modest pace, still weaker than the historical average, while efforts to remain competitive and attract new business limited the overall pricing power. Finally, sentiment towards the year ahead eased to the lowest on record, mainly driven by weaker sentiment at manufacturers. Composite Pmi in China is reported by Markit Economics.

Composite Pmi in China is expected to be 51.70 by the end of this quarter, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. Looking forward, we estimate Composite Pmi in China to stand at 50.00 in 12 months time. In the long-term, the China Composite Pmi is projected to trend around 51.60 in 2020, according to our econometric models.
