China’s official manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) registered 50.0 in May 2026, matching the consensus estimate of 50.0. The May reading declined from April’s 50.3, marking a 0.3 point decrease month-over-month. This result keeps the index at the threshold between expansion and contraction, following two consecutive months above 50. The production sub-index provided the main support, while new orders softened slightly. Compared to the 12-month rolling average of 50.08, the latest figure remains marginally below trend, reflecting ongoing challenges in sustaining manufacturing momentum amid global economic uncertainty. Market participants are watching for upcoming trade data and policy signals from the People’s Bank of China. Updated 5/31/26
