The key index gained 0.14 percent to 2,229.19 yesterday.

China's service sector rebounded in June to 55.2 after declining for two straight months according to the official non-manufacturing PMI published by the National Bureau of Statistics yesterday. The service PMI was 55.2 in May and 56.1 in April.
