-- 水曜日に発表された民間調査によると、中国のサービス部門は4月に活動が活発化し、新規受注が増加したことで、より速いペースで拡大した。 Seeking Alphaによると、RatingDogの中国総合サービス業景況指数は4月に52.6に加速し、3月の52.1から上昇、市場予想の52を上回った。 RatingDogによると、この拡大加速は新規受注の増加によるもので、新規受注は40ヶ月連続で増加した。 この民間調査は、4月に49.4に縮小した公式の非製造業購買担当者景気指数(PMI)とは対照的だ。 RatingDogによると、新規受注は市場環境の改善、ビジネスイノベーション、新規プロジェクト、新製品の発売、その他の販促活動などを背景に発生した。 未処理案件も同月に増加し、燃料価格の上昇に伴い平均投入価格も上昇した。 原油価格の上昇にもかかわらず、全体的な圧力は「穏やか」にとどまったと、創業者である姚宇氏の言葉を引用した報告書は述べている。 「このような状況下で、サービス提供者は競争力強化のため料金を小幅に引き下げ続け、販売価格指数は2ヶ月連続で縮小圏にとどまった。サービス需要は国内市場で最も強く、新規輸出事業は2ヶ月連続で減少した」と姚氏は声明で述べた。 RatingDogによると、インフレ率は2026年で最高水準に達したが、「長期調査のトレンドを下回った」。 また、RatingDogによると、総合生産指数は4月に53.1となり、3月の51.5から上昇し、2024年5月以来2番目に速い伸びとなった。
