China's bulk commodity market saw improving fundamentals in March with a marked increase in sales as demand rebounded, industrial data showed.
The China Bulk Merchandise Index, a gauge of domestic bulk commodity market growth, rose to its highest level since August 2020, according to the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.
The index stood at 103.4% for March, up 0.6 percentage points compared with February.
A reading above 100 indicates expansion, while a reading below 100 reflects contraction.
The sub-indices for bulk commodity supply and sales went up compared with the previous month, while the sub-index for inventory went down.
The federation expected that the domestic commodity market will maintain a stable and positive trend with more room for commodity prices to climb in April.
