🚨China manufacturing activity shrinks for a third straight month in July- PMI 🇨🇳

In July, China's manufacturing sector contracted for the third month in a row, with the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) falling to 49.4 from 49.5 in June. A PMI below 50 signals a contraction. This decline is attributed to weak domestic demand and increased trade tariffs from the European Union, especially impacting China's electric vehicle industry.

Consumer spending in China is sluggish, and confidence in an economic recovery remains low. The People’s Bank of China’s interest rate cuts have not significantly improved market sentiment. Additionally, non-manufacturing PMI grew slightly to 50.2, and the composite PMI also slowed to 50.2, reflecting broader economic weaknesses.

Despite promises of more stimulus to boost consumption following weaker-than-expected GDP growth in Q2, the government has not provided clear details on new measures, contributing to ongoing uncertainty about the economy's future.
