In March, a private survey revealed that China’s manufacturing activity showed signs of stabilization, with the Caixin manufacturing purchasing managers index reaching 51.1, its highest level in over a year. This marks an increase from February’s 50.9 and surpasses the economists’ prediction of 51. A reading above 50 indicates expansion from the preceding month, while a value below signifies contraction.
