China’s factory sector grew in February at the fastest pace in more than a decade in a boost for global economic recovery hopes, while data across Europe underlined that inflation in the region was still not under control.

It remains unclear how a strong Chinese recovery could ultimately feed into prices elsewhere, as the inflationary impact of its higher energy demand could be offset by the extra supply of goods it brings to the world’s economy.In Europe, German data showed the fight against inflation still has some way to go. Prices in the region’s largest economy rose 9.3% year-on-year in February, beating analyst expectations of a rise of 9.0% and higher than January’s 9.2% increase.

“The brighter production picture first and foremost reflects broad-based improvement in supply chains, with deliveries of inputs into factories quickening on average to a degree not seen since 2009,” said Chris Williamson, a chief business economist at S&P Global. China’s recovering economy, the world’s second-largest, may not be enough to offset headwinds from weak chip demand and supply constraints for export-reliant economies such as Japan.
