7月31日， 统计局发布7月PMI。制造业PMI 49.3%，预期49.7%，前值49.7%。非制造业PMI 50.1%，前值50.5%。关注以下几个方面： 第一，制造业生产和新订单均回落。7月制造业新订单环比下降0.8个百分点至49.4%，生产回落0.5个百分点至50.5%，分别拖累制造业PMI下滑0.24、0.13 个百分点，是7月制造业PMI下滑的主要拖累因素。对比往年同期降幅，2016-2024年（剔除2020/2022）新订单和生产的平均降幅分别为0.14、0.37个百分 点。由于PMI在数据处理过程中已剔除季节性，今年7月相对更弱的表现，指向制造业放缓可能受到常规季节性因素之外的影响，一方面是6月对美出口修 复带来的环比高基数，另一方面是部分地区高温、暴雨洪涝灾害的规模可能超出往年同期。 第二，外需也回落。7月制造业新出口订单回落0.4个百分点至47.1%（6月反弹0.2个百分点），略低于上半年平均值47.3。结合韩国出口旬度数据来看，7 月前20天出口同比-2.2%，这说明6月抢出口可能未在7月延续。7月9日是对等关税截止时点，尽管后来推迟到8月1日，但企业可能已经尽量安排在7月9日 之前出口。 ...
