China’s Private Factory Output Beats Forecasts Despite Trump Tariffs

Dhruva Kulkarni

China’s manufacturing activity grew at its fastest pace in four months, defying expectations ahead of Trump’s planned tariff hikes on exports to the US.  

The Caixin manufacturing PMI rose to 51.2 in March from 50.8 in February, surpassing forecasts and indicating expansion.  

Supply and demand improved, and exports grew, but the job market remained weak, and deflationary pressures persisted.

The private survey focused on small and export-driven firms and showed stronger results than the official poll.  

Despite US tariffs, China’s manufacturing sector displayed resilience, with new export sales rising at the fastest pace in nearly a year.  

Trump’s administration plans new reciprocal tariffs on 2nd April, with China warning of retaliation, adding to trade uncertainty.

German Retail Sales Climb, But Import Costs Weigh on Outlook

Dhruva Kulkarni

German retail sales rose 0.8% in February, surpassing analyst expectations of 0.2%, but increasing import prices pose inflation risks that could impact consumer spending.

Economists remain cautious, citing weak consumer sentiment. Chief economist Alexander Krueger noted that growing job concerns are limiting spending. Unemployment increased by 26,000 in March to 2.92 million, nearing the 3 million mark for the first time in a decade.

Import prices jumped 3.6% year-over-year in February, the highest in over two years, driven by food costs. As Germany imports many raw materials, these higher costs could push inflation up.

March inflation data, set for release on Monday, is expected to drop slightly to 2.4% from 2.6% in February.

Xi Jinping Meets Global CEOs Amid Slowing Investment

Dhruva Kulkarni

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with global CEOs in Beijing to attract foreign investment and support China’s slowing economy amid geopolitical tensions.  

Beijing faces challenges reassuring investors about its $18 trillion economy, with concerns over strict regulations, crackdowns on foreign firms, and a business environment favouring state-owned companies.  

Xi thanked foreign enterprises for contributing to trade, industry, tax revenue, and job creation. Around 40 executives, mostly from the pharmaceutical sector, attended the meeting as China seeks to reverse a sharp 27.1% drop in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2024—the steepest decline since the 2008 financial crisis.

He emphasised the role of multinational corporations in stabilising the global economy and urged them to support economic cooperation. The meeting followed the China Development Forum, where Premier Li Qiang called for open markets amid rising global uncertainty.  

Xi has also engaged domestic businesses, including a rare meeting with China’s top tech leaders last month, signalling efforts to restore economic confidence.
