On January 6, the China Logistics and Purchasing Federation released data showing that the global manufacturing PMI for December 2024 is 49.5%, an increase of 0.2 percentage points from November 2024, marking two consecutive months of slight increases and reaching a new high since the second half of 2024. In 2024, the average global manufacturing PMI is 49.3%, an increase of 0.8 percentage points compared to 2023. Analyst Wu Wei from the China Logistics Information Center indicated that based on the comprehensive data changes, in December 2024, global manufacturing maintains a stable upward trend, and the overall growth level of manufacturing in 2024 is expected to be better than that of 2023, with the global economy maintaining a steady recovery trend. The average index level is still below 50%, indicating that the driving force for global economic recovery remains insufficient. From the trends of each quarter, the global economic recovery shows a pattern of declining after an initial high. (Securities Daily)
