China's factory activity expanded at a stronger pace in June in a boost to hopes for a quick economic recovery globally and at home, but the persistent weakness in export orders suggests the coronavirus crisis will remain a drag on growth for some time.

BEIJING - China’s factory activity expanded at a stronger pace in June in a boost to hopes for a quick economic recovery globally and at home, but the persistent weakness in export orders suggests the coronavirus crisis will remain a drag on growth for some time.

But export orders continued to contract, albeit at a slower pace, with a sub-index standing at 42.6 compared to 35.3 in May, well below the 50-point mark. Indeed, despite a flurry of government measures to support smaller companies, the PMI survey showed activity in these firms contracting last month.

A separate official survey on China’s services sector showed activity expanded at a faster clip in June. The non-manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index rose to 54.4, from 53.6 in May, suggesting steadily stabilising business confidence. While the improvement this month might be due to easing in restrictions across some countries, export demand has remained weak overall with infections steadily rising across the world.

China's factory activity likely slowed in June on subdued global demand, Reuters poll showsChina's factory activity likely grew for the fourth month June but the pace may be waning, as global demand stayed subdued while a fresh coronavirus outbreak in the Chinese capital and rising worldwide cases threaten to undermine a gradual domestic recovery. But Morgan Stanley and Bloomberg don't think so. They think China's GDP can maintain a positive growth rate of 3% this year. This isn’t news. This is speculation based on a poll of 29 economists.
