The Caixin China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for December 2023 was 50.8, higher than the forecast of 50.3 and 0.1 ppts higher than the previous month. The PMI remained in expansionary territory for the second consecutive month and hit a four-month high.

The rate of expansion in manufacturing production and demand accelerated modestly during the period, to the highest since June 2023 and March 2023 respectively. According to survey respondents, demand improved, with new orders for consumer and intermediate goods increasing, and the rate of decline in investment goods easing. On the production side, output rose across all three major product categories, with consumer goods leading the way. Moreover, external demand improved marginally, with the New Export Orders Index rebounding from its contractionary range to its highest level in the past six months.

Despite the expansion in supply and demand, manufacturing employment pressures did not ease in December, with the Employment Index falling to its lowest level since June 2023. Manufacturers' purchases tended towards flat in December, following a marginal increase in the previous month.

Price levels remained relatively stable. Corporate costs remained elevated in December, driven largely by higher raw material prices, including metal, but the Raw Material Inventory index declined in the expansionary range to its lowest level since September. As margins were squeezed, firms were forced to increase prices on the selling side, albeit at a relatively limited rate.

The Manufacturing Expectations Index edged lower in the expansionary range in December, as the market remained confident about the outlook but concerned about shrinking client budgets, intense competition and subdued market conditions.
