The Caixin China General Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) at the end of August was 51, higher than the market's expectation of 49, and 1.8 ppts higher than July, returning to above the critical point.

In terms of the sub-indices, both supply and demand in the manufacturing sector resumed expansion in August, with the Manufacturing Output index and the New Orders index bouncing back above the critical point. Driven by improved market conditions and a pick-up in sales, overall output increased, although some firms reduced the number of working days due to high temperatures. Manufacturing output and demand for consumer and investment goods rose during the month, while output of intermediate goods remained broadly unchanged.

External demand remained weak, with the New Export Orders Index picking up slightly in contractionary territory in August, and export demand falling across all three major product groups.

Improved supply and demand led to a marked improvement in manufacturing employment conditions, with the Employment Index rising to expansionary territory for the first time in 6 months and the highest since April 2010. Manufacturing purchasing activity likewise expanded in August, following a marginal contraction in July, but the Stock of Items Purchased Index fell into contractionary territory.

Production outstripped sales, while delays in some firms' shipments contributed to a continued rise in finished goods inventories in August. Higher prices for some raw materials, including metals, pushed the Raw Materials Purchases Index back above the critical point for the first time since April. Manufacturing firms remained optimistic about growth in the year ahead, but the Production and Operating Expectations Index in August fell to its lowest level in almost 11 months.
