根据国家统计局公布的数据，2025年7月，中国制造业采购经理指数（PMI）为49.3%，比6月下降0.4个 百分点；7月非制造业商务活动指数为50.1%，比6月下降0.4个百分点，其中，建筑业商务活动指数为 50.6%，比6月下降2.2个百分点，服务业PMI指数为50.0%，比6月下降0.1个百分点；7月综合PMI产出指 数为50.2%，比6月下降0.5个百分点。 要点解读如下 7月制造业PMI指数比上月下降0.4个百分点，基本符合市场预期。 主要原因是当月反映市场需求的新订单指数环比回落0.8个百分点至49.4%，再度进入收缩区间。我们分 析，背后可能有两个原因： 其他方面，近期"反内卷"牵动市场预期，国内主导的煤炭、钢铁等大宗商品价格快速上冲。这是当月制 造业PMI指数中两个价格指数快速走高的主要原因。我们预计，7月PPI会环比转正，同比降幅会收窄 至-3.0%左右。不过，当前工业品价格低迷主要是受消费需求不振和房地产投资下滑拖累，"反内卷"对 工业品价格及整体物价的推升作用有待进一步观察。另外值得注意的是，7月中型企业PMI指数继续回 升，而大型、小型企业PMI指数都出现0.9个百分点的回落，其中大型企 ...
