The local stock barometer rallied back to the 7,000 mark yesterday, riding on the upswing across emerging markets despite sluggish factory data in China.

The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) rose by 133.53 points or 1.93 percent to close at 7,060.60.

Across the region, stock markets were mostly higher as investors expect the Chinese economy to stabilize even if the latest factory data turned out disappointing.
