China’s manufacturing sector grew at a steady pace in May given the improvement in production and domestic business that even out the decline of new export orders for the second month on Friday. The Caixin/Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ index (PMI) remained at 51.1 in May, just a bit higher than the forecast slow down to 51.0 and maintaining above the 50-point mark that divides growth from contraction for the 12th succeeding months. The output sub-index climbed to 51.8 this month, reaching a three-month high amid the strengthening of domestic order and raised their purchases of inputs. According to the Caixin survey, factories in China have had a solid overall growth, despite the struggle of the government on industrial pollution, a sluggish housing market amid trade tensions with the U.S. The survey shows the official PMI released on Thursday that the manufacturing sector rose at the fastest pace in eight months that means broad economic strength despite most analysts anticipate pressure for growth in the next months with higher financing costs and the global trade concerns. Future growth prospects of manufacturers are optimistic in May based on the survey of Caixin. Although, there is still uncertainty on external markets following the contraction of export orders for a second month. China sustained a steadfast growth this year along with the optimistic Asian big exports despite sluggish growth in 2017.
