China’s factory activity grew stronger in June backed by optimism for a quick economic recovery globally. However, struggling export orders indicated that the virus-driven disruptions will continue to cap economic growth longer than expected.

The increase was brought by the quickening pace of expansion in production. The forward-looking total new orders gauge also grew, increasing to 51.4 from 50.9 seen in May. This indicated that domestic demand fared better while industries from non-ferrous metals, general equipment, and electrical machinery showed signs of recovery.
