30.04.202601:30:00UTC+00China’s Composite PMI Eases to 50.1 in April, Signalling Softer Expansion

China’s Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) edged down in April 2026, pointing to a modest loss of momentum in overall economic activity. The index slipped to 50.1 in April from 50.5 in March 2026, based on data last updated on 30 April 2026.

While a reading above 50 still indicates expansion, the marginal decline suggests that the pace of growth in China’s combined manufacturing and services sectors has weakened. The latest figure keeps the composite gauge just above the threshold that separates expansion from contraction, highlighting a fragile improvement rather than a robust upswing.

The April reading will be closely watched by investors and policymakers as they assess whether the slowdown is temporary or the start of a more persistent soft patch in China’s economic cycle.
