The actual PMI matched analyst estimates of 52.0, suggesting that the market had anticipated this moderation in manufacturing growth. The manufacturing sector may experience short-term sentiment-driven fluctuations, particularly affecting industrial and materials stocks. However, since the result aligns with expectations, the broader market impact is likely to be limited, with investors potentially focusing on other economic indicators for longer-term policy guidance.
