China's manufacturing activity expanded at the fastest pace in 14 months in April, driven by a solid pick-up in new export orders, a private survey showed on Tuesday, an encouraging sign for an economy still struggling to mount a robust recovery.
The Caixin/S&P Global manufacturing PMI rose to 51.4 in April, marking the highest reading since March 2023 and rising from the 51.1 for previous month, and above analysts' forecasts of 51.0.
