BEIJING (MNI)

Caixin China's manufacturing PMI for July fell 1.3 points on month to 50.4, remaining in the expansion zone above 50 though indicating a slower recovery pace, amid traditional off-season of production and the slight rebound of Covid-19 cases , financial publisher Caixin said on Monday.

Both the production and new orders sub-indices fell in the expansion range, and manufacturers surveyed reported relatively weak demand, continued Covid-19 impact, and power outages together restricted output growth. External demand was relatively stable, with the new export orders sub-index continuing the expansion trend in the previous month.

Caixin's PMI mainly tracks small and medium-sized manufacturers, while the official PMI mainly covering large state-owned companies and released on Sunday also fell 1.2 points to 49.0 in July from June. (SEE: MNI BRIEF: China Jul Manufacturing PMI Contracts On Covid Fear).
