SUMMARY:China Official PMI November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Next China Official PMI: Monday\, November 30\, 2026 at 9:30 am CST (8:30 pm ET\, 1:30 am London). \n\nConsensus\nNot yet published\nPrior\n50.4 manufacturing / 50.1 non-manufacturing (March 2026\, most recently confirmed)\nActual\nPending\n\nFull schedule and background: China Official PMI. \nUpdated September 2\, 2026 \n\n← Previous China Official PMI\nChina’s Official PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) for November 2026 is due for release on Monday\, November 30\, 2026\, at 9:30 am China Standard Time\, which is 8:30 pm ET on Sunday\, November 29 in the United States and 1:30 am on Monday\, November 30 in London. The figures are published jointly by China’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) on the NBS website. The release covers business conditions during November 2026 across manufacturing\, non-manufacturing (services and construction)\, and a composite reading. Full schedule and background: China Official PMI. \nWhat is the China Official PMI?\nThe Purchasing Managers’ Index is a monthly survey of purchasing managers at thousands of enterprises across China\, asking whether business conditions such as new orders\, output\, employment\, prices and delivery times improved\, worsened or stayed the same compared with the previous month. The manufacturing PMI is drawn from roughly 3\,200 manufacturing firms\, according to TrendForce’s DataTrack\, and is weighted across five sub-indices including new orders\, production\, employment\, supplier delivery times and raw material inventories. \nA reading above 50.0 signals that activity is expanding compared with the prior month\, while a reading below 50.0 signals contraction. There is no comparison against a fixed baseline: it is purely a month-on-month diffusion index. The non-manufacturing PMI\, published alongside it\, covers services and construction and is watched closely because services now make up the larger share of China’s economy. \nMarkets watch this release because it is the first hard indicator of Chinese activity for any given month\, arriving days before trade\, credit and industrial output data. Global investors\, particularly those exposed to commodities\, shipping\, and Asian equities\, use it to gauge demand from the world’s second-largest economy. \nWhen is the November PMI released?\nThe November 2026 China Official PMI is scheduled for release on November 30\, 2026\, at 9:30 am local time in Beijing (8:30 pm ET on the preceding US evening\, 1:30 am in London). It is published on the NBS website in both Chinese and English. China typically releases this data on the last calendar day of the reference month\, or the first business day after it\, rather than waiting for the start of the following month like most other economies’ PMIs. \nWhat is the consensus forecast?\nA consensus forecast for the November 2026 release had not been published at the time of writing; economist estimates from Reuters and Bloomberg polls typically appear in the days immediately before the release date. The most recently confirmed official readings available were for early 2026\, with the manufacturing PMI at 50.4 in March 2026\, up from 49.0 in February 2026\, according to Trading Economics. The specific October and November 2026 prints were not independently verifiable in the sources available for this preview\, so readers should check the official NBS release or a live economic calendar closer to the date for the confirmed prior figure and consensus. \n\n\n\nMeasure\nPrior (most recently confirmed)\nConsensus\n\n\n\n\nManufacturing PMI\n50.4 (March 2026)\nNot yet published\n\n\nNon-manufacturing PMI\n50.1 (March 2026)\nNot yet published\n\n\n\nWhat the result could mean\n\n\n\nScenario\nLikely market read\nWhat it means in plain English\n\n\n\n\nAbove consensus\nRead as a sign that stimulus measures and export demand are gaining traction\, potentially supportive for commodity currencies and Asian equities\nChinese factories and services firms reported stronger business than expected\, which can lift confidence in global growth\n\n\nIn line\nLimited market reaction\, seen as confirmation of the existing trend near the 50 expansion threshold\nThe economy is broadly performing as expected\, neither accelerating nor slowing sharply\n\n\nBelow consensus\nCould renew concerns about weak domestic demand and add pressure for further policy support\, a theme frequently flagged by analysts at Trading Economics and other data providers\nBusinesses are reporting weaker conditions than hoped\, which can weigh on commodity prices and sentiment towards China-exposed assets\n\n\n\nWhy does this release matter right now?\nChina’s manufacturing PMI has spent long stretches hovering either side of the 50 threshold through 2025 and into 2026\, reflecting a mix of resilient exports and persistently soft domestic demand. The index fell to 49.0 in October 2025 from 49.8 in September\, according to Trading Economics\, before recovering to 50.1 in December 2025\, as reported by the National Bureau of Statistics. Early 2026 saw a dip back into contraction around the Lunar New Year holiday before a rebound to 50.4 in March 2026\, the strongest print in a year\, supported by government spending and export demand tied to global AI-related investment. \nPolicymakers in Beijing use the PMI as one input into decisions on fiscal stimulus and monetary easing\, while foreign central banks and investors treat it as an early gauge of Chinese demand for imported goods\, industrial inputs and commodities. A weak reading tends to reinforce expectations that Beijing will lean further into stimulus\, while a strong reading can ease pressure for additional support. \nRecent China Official PMI readings\n\n\n\nMonth\nManufacturing PMI\nNon-manufacturing PMI\n\n\n\n\nSeptember 2025\n49.8\nn/a\n\n\nOctober 2025\n49.0\nn/a\n\n\nDecember 2025\n50.1\n50.2\n\n\nJanuary 2026\n49.3\nn/a\n\n\nFebruary 2026\n49.0\nn/a\n\n\nMarch 2026\n50.4\n50.1\n\n\n\nSource: National Bureau of Statistics of China and Trading Economics. Some months are omitted where an official non-manufacturing figure was not independently confirmed for this preview. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\nMortgages and interest rates: A weak China PMI can push global bond yields lower as investors seek safety\, which can feed through to slightly cheaper fixed mortgage rates in the US\, UK and Europe. A strong reading can have the opposite effect\, nudging yields and borrowing costs up. \nJobs and wages: Manufacturers and exporters in Asia\, Europe and commodity-producing nations such as Australia and Brazil are sensitive to Chinese demand. A run of weak PMI prints can eventually show up as softer hiring at firms that sell machinery\, metals or components into China. \nPrices at home: China is a major buyer of oil\, copper and other raw materials. Stronger Chinese activity tends to support commodity prices\, which can filter into fuel and household goods prices elsewhere; weaker activity can help keep those costs down. \nInvestments and pensions: Chinese and broader Asian equities\, along with commodity-linked stocks and funds held in pensions\, often move on the day of this release. A surprise in either direction can cause short-term volatility in diversified portfolios with exposure to emerging markets. \nCurrencies: The Chinese yuan\, the Australian dollar and other commodity currencies frequently react to PMI surprises\, and moves can spill over into the pound\, euro and dollar through shifts in risk appetite and trade flows. \nRelated events\n\nPrevious release: China Official PMI\, October 2026\nChina’s Caixin manufacturing and services PMIs\, a separate private-sector survey published a day or two after the official figures\nChina trade balance and industrial production data\, typically released in the following weeks\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat time is the China Official PMI released?\nThe November 2026 release is due at 9:30 am China Standard Time on November 30\, 2026\, which is 8:30 pm ET the previous evening and 1:30 am in London. \nHow do I read the PMI number?\nA reading above 50.0 means activity expanded compared with the previous month\, while a reading below 50.0 means it contracted; the further from 50.0\, the stronger the signal. \nDoes the China PMI affect central bank policy elsewhere?\nIt is not a direct input for the Federal Reserve\, Bank of England or European Central Bank\, but sharp swings can influence their assessment of global growth and commodity price pressures\, which feed into inflation forecasts. \nWhere can I find the official release?\nThe data is published on the National Bureau of Statistics of China website\, with an English-language version typically posted within days of the Chinese release. \nWhen is the next China Official PMI due?\nThe December 2026 reading is expected around the final day of December 2026 or the first business day of January 2027\, following the usual monthly pattern. \n← Previous China Official PMI
