China's official manufacturing PMI new orders index for Q3 (September) 2026 recorded 50.5, a slight decrease of 0.1 from the previous 50.6, but holding above the expansion-contraction line for two consecutive months. Driven by accelerated production and robust external demand, the overall manufacturing PMI returned to the expansion zone at 50.1. The subsequent recovery of domestic demand and policy implementation will be the core of guiding medium-term trends.
