The indicator of Chinese manufacturers' activity is still steady. It’s due to the fact the service sector has been expanding for the second month in a row in April.
In April, the index of business activity of the manufacturing sector in this Asian country turned to be 51.4 versus the forecast of leading market experts, who hoped for 51.3. Nevertheless, the figure was below 51.5 – the outcome of the previous month. Besides this, the non-manufacturing activity index managed to tack on to 54.8 in April versus March’ result of 54.6. That’s what the China Bureau of Statistics informed. By the way, it should be noted that the value above 50 drops a hint at an increase. On the contrary, the reading below 50 stands for quite negative dynamics.
Sustained productivity can help to soothe concerns expressed by China's top leadership the previous week that the Chinese economy could slow down more abruptly than anticipated, considering the constant tension in the trade.
Some market experts pointed out that the given figures appear to be solid enough. They added that today’s data openly suggests that surge rates are still upbeat, although risks are over there.
