China's NBS Manufacturing PMI for July 2026 (released August 1, 2026) reads 50.0 or above (expansion zone) — confirmed by National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 26. July 2026 · Predicted for 1. August 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

62%

China's official PMI rose to 50.3 in June 2026 (third consecutive expansion month, beating expectations of 50.1), driven by AI-related high-tech export demand. Headwind: US Section 301 tariffs of 12.5% on Chinese goods. PMI values rarely drop more than 3 points month-on-month; a drop below 50 from the current 50.3 level is less likely than a continuation in expansion territory. No Polymarket contract for July available.
