A private gauge of China’s manufacturing activity bounced back into expansionary territory in June, as a temporary trade truce between Beijing and Washington eased some pressures on Chinese factories.

China's factory activity returned to expansion in June, supported by an increase in new orders that lifted production, a private-sector survey showed on Tuesday.

China's Caixin manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 50.4 in June, up 2.1 points from one month earlier, returning to expansion territory following a brief contraction in May, according to a Caixin-sponsored survey released Tuesday.
