China factory gauge unexpectedly jumps as stimulus kicks in

China’s official factory gauge showed improving conditions for the first time in eight months, suggesting the government’s fiscal and monetary stimulus is kicking in.

The manufacturing purchasing managers index rose to 50.2 in March, compared with a median estimate of 49.4 in a Bloomberg News survey of economists. The measure matches its highest level since November 2014. The non-manufacturing PMI rose to 53.8 from 52.7 in February. Chinese stock-index futures climbed and the Australian dollar rose.
