China RatingDog Manufacturing PMI Holds at 52.0 in October
China’s RatingDog Manufacturing PMI came in at 52.0 in October, matching market expectations and edging down slightly from 52.1 in September.
The reading remained comfortably above the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction, indicating that manufacturing activity continued to grow.
The result suggests China’s factory sector maintained steady momentum at the start of the fourth quarter, although the slight monthly easing points to broadly stable rather than accelerating conditions.
