中國(guó)5月“PMI”略高于50 全球市場(chǎng)愁眉不展（中級(jí)）

官方發(fā)布，中國(guó)5月制造業(yè)PMI下降到50.4，低于之前不少經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家預(yù)測(cè)的52。該數(shù)據(jù)僅僅是剛過經(jīng)濟(jì)強(qiáng)弱分界點(diǎn)50。

China's official PMI in manufacturing sector fell to 50.4, which was lower than 52 expected by economists. It's also just marginally above that key breakeven level of 50.

分析:

上述新聞中的“PMI(Purchase Management Index)”意思是“采購(gòu)經(jīng)理人指數(shù)”，是通過對(duì)企業(yè)采購(gòu)經(jīng)理的月度調(diào)查結(jié)果統(tǒng)計(jì)匯總、編制而成的指數(shù)，它涵蓋了企業(yè)采購(gòu)、生產(chǎn)、流通等各個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)，是國(guó)際上通用的監(jiān)測(cè)宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)走勢(shì)的先行性指數(shù)之一，具有較強(qiáng)的預(yù)測(cè)、預(yù)警作用。PMI通常以50%作為經(jīng)濟(jì)強(qiáng)弱的分界點(diǎn)，PMI高于50%時(shí)，反映制造業(yè)經(jīng)濟(jì)擴(kuò)張;低于50%，則反映制造業(yè)經(jīng)濟(jì)收縮。

CPI(消費(fèi)物價(jià)指數(shù))和PMI的區(qū)別：簡(jiǎn)單說來CPI與居民生活有關(guān)的產(chǎn)品及勞務(wù)價(jià)格統(tǒng)計(jì)出來的物價(jià)變動(dòng)指標(biāo)，而PMI反應(yīng)的是某個(gè)國(guó)家某個(gè)行業(yè)的經(jīng)濟(jì)變化趨勢(shì)。CPI連續(xù)上漲會(huì)引發(fā)通脹，而PMI 上漲則說明經(jīng)濟(jì)內(nèi)在動(dòng)力強(qiáng)勁。
