The RatingDog China manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index posted 51.7 in June, down from 51.8 in May.

Although the score fell to a three-month low in June, it remained above the long-run survey trend of 50.8 since 2004. Moreover, the average reading for the second quarter was 51.9, the strongest for any quarter since the fourth quarter of 2020.

The volume of new orders increased for the thirteenth month running in June, and marked the joint-longest sequence. However, new export business fell for a second straight month.

Manufacturing production increased again in June, underpinned by higher orders. Manufacturers boosted employment for the first time in three months in June. The rate of job creation was the strongest since August 2023.

Despite higher staff levels, the level of backlogged work increased for the fifth month. Manufacturers were able to raise their inventories of finished goods.

Output price inflation edged up slightly since May. Charges increased for six straight months, marking the longest sequence since 2021.
