BEIJING -
The Caixin/S&P Global manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 50.8 in February from 50.1 the previous month, marking a three-month high and beating analysts' forecasts in a Reuters poll of 50.3.

The positive trend in the Caixin survey aligned with official PMI data released over the weekend that showed manufacturing activity expanding at the fastest pace in three months.
