The manufacturing sector in China climbed into expansion in June, the latest survey from Caixin revealed on Monday with a manufacturing PMI score of 50.4.
That beat expectations for a score of 49.8 and it's up from 49.6 in May.
It also moves above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
Individually, production and new orders strengthened resulting in an increase in new orders.
But inventory holdings and employment were down again.
