China’s Oct exports likely remain strong on robust global demand, imports surge – Reuters poll
China’s export growth likely moderated slightly in October but remained strong due to robust global demand, easing global supply chain disruptions and a mitigating power crunch, while imports surged on energy demand, a Reuters poll showed on Friday. Imports likely rose 25% in October from a year ago, the poll showed, compared with 17.6% in September, as oil prices rose and China stepped up coal imports to secure power supplies ahead of the winter. However, they added that export growth could have eased slightly due to high base for comparison with a year earlier.
