招商宏观：服务消费淡季回调明显

Core Viewpoint - The manufacturing and construction PMIs showed slight recovery in November, yet remain below the expansion threshold, particularly the construction sector at its lowest level in five years, while the service sector experienced a notable decline during the off-peak consumption season [2][3] Manufacturing Sector - The manufacturing PMI rose by 0.2 to 49.2 in November, with most sub-indices improving, indicating a recovery in demand and stable production activities. The production index reached 50, up 0.3 from the previous month, and the new orders index increased to 49.2, up 0.4 [2] - The "two 500 billion" growth stabilization policies introduced at the end of September are expected to boost infrastructure and manufacturing investments in November. The new export orders index improved to 47.6, up 1.7, reflecting a stabilization in foreign trade due to the outcomes of US-China tariff negotiations [2] - The raw material purchasing price index rose to 53.6, up 1.1, while the factory price index increased to 48.2, up 0.7. However, the widening gap between raw material purchasing and finished product prices indicates a blockage in price transmission, which may hinder future profit recovery for enterprises [2] Service Sector - The service sector PMI fell to 49.5, down 0.7 from the previous month, marking the only decline among the three sectors. Following the concentrated release of consumer demand during the "Golden Week," various sectors such as retail, accommodation, transportation, and entertainment saw a decline due to high base effects from the previous month [3] - The financial sector's business activity index and new orders index both rose significantly, exceeding 55%, indicating strong performance. The service sector PMI expectation index remains at 55.9, suggesting potential recovery in consumer-related services in December due to year-end festivities and winter demand [3] Construction Sector - The construction PMI increased by 0.5 to 49.6, indicating some recovery in construction activities, yet it remains at the lowest level for the same period since 2019, reflecting ongoing weak demand in the industry [3] - The civil engineering business activity index remains above 52, indicating growth in civil engineering activities. The business expectation index improved by 1.9, suggesting that accelerated progress on key projects and the impact of policy financial tools may drive further growth in the construction sector [3] Future Outlook - In December, all sectors are expected to enter a year-end sprint phase, coinciding with important policy implementation and capital injection points. The anticipated demand increase from the "15th Five-Year Plan" and the backdrop of a phased US-China trade agreement may lead to a steady rise in the manufacturing PMI [4] - For the construction sector, an increase in the speed of capital injection related to infrastructure is expected in Q4, which may lay a solid foundation for growth stabilization [4] - The concentrated release of consumer-related demand during year-end festivities and winter is anticipated to boost the service sector in the coming month, with financial activities continuing to support the sector [4]
