MNI BRIEF: China Warehousing Index Rises in October

China’s Warehousing Index rose to 50.6% in October 2025, up 1 percentage point from the previous month and returning above the 50 point expansion range, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) announced on Wednesday.

Although overall inventory levels continued to decline, the pace narrowed compared with earlier periods, indicating an improvement to market demand, the federation said. 

China’s property market is expected to stabilise over the next Five-Year Plan period, with residential prices in major cities bottoming out and rebounding as policy measures help rebalance supply and demand, advisors and analysts told MNI, noting the sector’s drag on overall economic growth is also likely to ease.
