China's manufacturing sector saw growth at the end of Q2, with the PMI rising to 50.4 in June from 48.3 in May, signalling improved operating conditions for the manufacturing economy. Manufacturing production expanded at its fastest rate since November 2024, driven by firmer demand and promotional activities.
