China stocks see biggest jump in 1-month on strong PMI data

SHANGHAI: China stocks jumped on Monday, logging their biggest daily gain in a month, after the latest manufacturing activity data signalled that the economy's recovery is gaining traction, while the Hong Kong market was closed for a holiday.

China's manufacturing activity expanded at its fastest pace in 13 months in March, with business confidence hitting an 11-month high, driven by growing new orders from customers at home and abroad, a private survey showed on Monday.
