Core Viewpoint - The manufacturing PMI for August slightly increased by 0.1 points to 49.4, with 7 out of 15 sub-sectors remaining in the expansion zone, consistent with previous values [1][5][6]. Group 1: Industry Performance - Industries showing improvement in August primarily include high-tech manufacturing (computers, pharmaceuticals), equipment manufacturing (specialized, automotive), and some raw material sectors (non-ferrous, non-metallic, petrochemical, chemical), along with the textile and apparel industry. This improvement is driven by macroeconomic factors such as policy benefits, strong export orders, and price recovery due to "anti-involution" [1][9][10]. - The sectors with significant declines in August include general equipment, electrical machinery, metals, chemical fibers and plastics, and food. This decline is attributed to high capital usage for "equipment renewal" in the first half of the year, a decrease in export orders, and self-imposed constraints on capital expenditure by companies [2][13]. - The absolute prosperity index shows that specialized and general equipment sectors are relatively leading, with specialized equipment reaching over 95% in the past four years, driven by "dual heavy" projects and "AI+" initiatives [2][14]. Group 2: Emerging Industries - In emerging industries, both new energy and energy-saving environmental protection sectors are in the expansion zone, likely due to accelerated fiscal funding and project bidding since the end of the second quarter. The sales prices in these sectors increased by 4.6% and 2.6% respectively [3][17][18]. - The construction industry saw a notable decline in prosperity, dropping 1.5 points to 49.1, with infrastructure construction experiencing a downturn but new orders improving, indicating a potential acceleration in project funding and signing [3][19][21]. Group 3: Service Sector Performance - The service sector PMI rose by 0.5 points to 50.5, reaching a new high for the year. Key drivers include increased activity in travel-related sectors during the summer, high capital market service activity, and continued strength in information technology services [4][22][23]. - The service sector's performance indicates a recovery in consumer spending related to summer travel and robust capital market activities, with various service industries showing improvements in their respective PMIs [4][24]. Group 4: Summary Insights - The short-term indicators of prosperity in August highlight four key areas: raw materials related to "anti-involution," large projects and "AI+" related industries, summer travel-related service consumption, and capital market services. These indicators exhibit structural characteristics, while the overall economic momentum is still adjusting [4][25].
