11月PMI数据点评：价格改善加速，制造业PMI收缩放缓

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - In November, the manufacturing PMI contraction slowed down, with synchronized improvement in production and demand, accelerated improvement in the price index, and a slowdown in procurement contraction. Meanwhile, the service industry fell into the contraction range, and the construction industry remained below the boom - bust line for four consecutive months. More efforts are needed to promote various economic stabilization policies [1][5][35]. - In November, the bond market fell into a "ceiling - floor" oscillation pattern again due to the lack of strong policy and fundamental drivers. Most institutions are waiting for clear guidance from incremental information. The important meetings in December and subsequent key economic data releases are expected to determine the market direction. Historically in December, interest rates tend to decline, but the bullish sentiment in the market has concerns, and the year - end allocation market is yet to start [4][35]. 3. Summary by Directory I. November PMI Data Overview - Manufacturing: The manufacturing PMI in November was 49.2%, up 0.2 percentage points month - on - month, remaining below the boom - bust line for eight consecutive months. The production index reached the critical point, external demand improved significantly, the price index improved at an accelerated pace, finished - product destocking accelerated, and procurement contraction slowed [8]. - Non - manufacturing: The service industry fell into the contraction range, with its business activity index dropping 0.7 percentage points to 49.5%. The construction industry showed a slight recovery, with its business activity index rising 0.5 percentage points to 49.6%, remaining below the boom - bust line for four consecutive months [11]. II. Manufacturing: Synchronized Improvement in Production and Demand, Accelerated Improvement in Price Index - Production: The manufacturing PMI production index reached 50.0% in November, returning to the boom - bust line after a brief fall into the contraction range last month, up 0.3 percentage points month - on - month, but weaker than the seasonal performance [15]. - Demand: External demand improved significantly, driving overall demand to pick up. The new export order index rose notably, and demand improvement was higher than production. Small - enterprise PMI rebounded, and the high - energy - consuming industry's prosperity level rebounded from a low level [18]. - Price: The "anti - involution" policy advanced steadily, and with the coordinated stabilization of supply and demand, the price index improved at an accelerated pace. The main raw material purchase price index and the ex - factory price index rose by 1.1 and 0.7 percentage points respectively, and the index difference between them increased to 5.4 percentage points, indicating a narrowing profit margin for enterprises [21]. - Inventory: Finished - product destocking accelerated, and procurement contraction slowed. The raw material inventory index remained flat at 47.3%, and the finished - product inventory decreased by 0.8 percentage points. The enterprise procurement willingness increased, and the procurement volume index rose to 49.5% [24]. III. Non - manufacturing: Service Industry Falls into Contraction Range, Construction Industry Shows Slight Recovery - Service Industry: After the concentrated release of consumption demand during the National Day Golden Week last month, consumer - related service industries declined in the off - season, and the service industry fell into the contraction range. However, financial activities continued to strengthen, and new - energy industries maintained steady growth [28]. - Construction Industry: Construction activities recovered in November, with the construction business activity index rising 0.5 percentage points to 49.6%, remaining below the boom - bust line for four consecutive months. The business activity index of the housing construction industry increased significantly, and that of the civil engineering construction industry remained above 52% [31]. IV. Impact on the Bond Market - In November, the bond market was in a "ceiling - floor" oscillation pattern due to the lack of strong policy and fundamental drivers. Most institutions were in a wait - and - see mode. The important meetings in December and subsequent key economic data releases are expected to determine the market direction. Historically in December, interest rates tend to decline, but the bullish sentiment has concerns, and the year - end allocation market is yet to start [4][35].
