Asia sentiment hits year high as China's economy steadies

Sentiment at Asia's biggest companies climbed to its highest in a year in the second quarter of 2016, helped by signs that China's economy was slowly steadying, a Thomson Reuters/INSEAD survey showed.

During the quarter, China reported a marginal decline in May imports that was far less than market expectations, reflecting a pick-up in domestic demand as the government raises spending on infrastructure projects to support growth.

The Thomson Reuters/INSEAD Asian Business Sentiment Index, representing the six-month outlook of 139 firms, rose to 67 for April-June versus 65 three months prior - continuing a rebound from a four-year low of 58 in December. A reading over 50 indicates a positive view.
