In the second quarter of 2026 (2026-06-01), the production output of China's Strategic Emerging Industries EPMI was 52.4, a significant pullback from the previous value of 56.0, but still firmly above the 50 boom-or-bust line. Data shows that AI and high-tech manufacturing continue to support overall sentiment; however, affected by the downward shift in off-season demand and a slowdown in export orders, short-term expansion momentum has slightly contracted.
