Core Viewpoint - The global manufacturing PMI index for April 2025 shows a slight decline to 49.8, indicating economic uncertainty due to tariff disruptions, with varying performances across regions [1][2]. Regional Analysis Asia - Economic performance in Asia remains mixed, with Japan and India showing marginal improvements in manufacturing PMI, while China's and South Korea's indices fell to 49 and 47.5 respectively. India's PMI rose to 58.2, and Japan's to 48.7 [3]. Europe - Most European countries saw marginal improvements in manufacturing PMI, yet they remain in contraction territory. Germany's PMI increased to 48.4, above previous values and expectations. The Eurozone's GDP growth rate for Q1 2025 has rebounded above zero, but tariff impacts continue to pose risks [3]. Americas - North American economies are experiencing a slight downturn, with Mexico and Canada's manufacturing PMIs dropping to 44.8 and 45.3 respectively, influenced by U.S. trade policies and declining output [3]. U.S. Economic Indicators - The U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI fell by 0.3 points to 48.7, continuing a downward trend from the previous quarter. Key characteristics include a decline in supply and demand, rising inflation, a cooling job market, and significant drops in export orders [4]. Export Trends - China's overall export growth is expected to face pressure in Q2 2025. In March, South Korea's export growth improved to 3.7%, while China's export growth surged to 12.4%, driven by low base effects and strong performance in semiconductor and machinery sectors. However, most goods are anticipated to be negatively impacted by trade frictions [5].
