Export drives June factory activity unexpectedly to expand

By Soren Cocozza

The private survey conducted by The Caixin/S&P indicated that China’s factory activity unexpectedly expanded among export-oriented manufacturers in June, showing some signs of recovery.

The Caixin/S&P Global manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) came in at 50.4, beating estimate of 49.0 and rebounding from 48.3 in May, which had been its worst contraction since September 2022.

Both manufacturing supply and demand returned to growth in June, according to Caixin, with output expanding at the fastest pace since November.

The survey showed that the rebound in Caixin PMI was mostly driven by exports, as businesses received more export orders after the tariff truce, which further pushed up their production.

Despite increasingly growing calls from the western for Beijing to curb its supply overcapacity, manufacturing still accounted for around 26% of China’s GDP in Q1.
