About NBS Non Manufacturing PMI — China
DEFINITION
The NBS Non Manufacturing PMI is a widely recognized financial indicator that measures the performance of the non-manufacturing sector in a country.

The NBS Non Manufacturing PMI is an essential tool for analyzing the current and future state of a country's service sector, and its fluctuations can have significant impacts on financial markets.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Sentiment surveys are forward-looking inputs that often lead hard data on output and hiring. Sharp swings can drive cross-asset repricing. Surprises against consensus can drive short-term moves, particularly when the print breaks an established trend. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Jun 2026): actual 50.2, consensus 49.9. Prior reading (May 2026): 50.1. Before that (Apr 2026): 49.4.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a similar reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bullish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary tailwind in the current projection. This indicator correlates most strongly with Nikkei 225 (Bullish Nikkei 225, r=0.49) — a useful reference for index-focused traders.
