Chinese foreign exchange reserves rose by roughly $10 billion in March to $3.21 trillion, the first monthly increase since October, according to central bank data.

Investors had been sending huge sums out of China amid worries over a slowing economy, stock market turmoil and a weakening yuan. The capital outflows increased downward pressure on the yuan, a trend Beijing appeared to counter by using its reserves of foreign currencies to buy yuan.
