China’s July manufacturing activity contracts more than expected

China’s manufacturing sector continues to face challenges as the official gauge for manufacturing activity in July indicated a contraction, falling below expectations. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for July was 49.3, missing the forecast of 49.7 according to a Reuters poll. This marks the fourth consecutive month that China’s official manufacturing PMI has been below the 50 mark, signaling contraction in the sector.

The ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China have added to the pressures on the Chinese economy. In April, both countries imposed tariffs on each other’s imports, leading to heightened tensions. While a truce was agreed upon in May to roll back some of these tariffs for 90 days, the agreement is set to expire in mid-August. Talks between representatives of the two countries in Stockholm this week did not result in an extension of the agreement, raising concerns about the future of trade relations.

Within the manufacturing PMI, sub-indexes such as employment, new orders, and raw materials inventory also showed contraction in July. The index for jobs saw a slight increase to 48, up from 47.9 in June. The National Bureau of Statistics attributed the decline in the manufacturing PMI to factors such as the traditional off-season and extreme weather conditions like extreme heat and heavy rainfall in parts of the country.

Recent extreme weather events have had a significant impact on China, with at least 30 people reported dead on the outskirts of Beijing due to heavy rain. Despite these challenges, China’s exports rose by 5.8% year on year in June, offsetting a decrease in exports to the U.S. Customs data released earlier this month showed positive growth in exports.

In a high-level Politburo meeting on Wednesday, China’s top leaders did not indicate plans for significant new stimulus measures. However, the country has been increasing subsidies to encourage population growth and address demographic challenges.

Overall, the challenges facing China’s manufacturing sector underscore the complex economic landscape shaped by trade tensions and external factors like extreme weather events. As the country navigates these challenges, policymakers will need to carefully consider their next steps to support economic growth and stability.
