China’s exports and imports drop again in September
China reported a smaller-than-expected decline in exports in September from a year ago, while imports missed, according to customs data released Friday.
In U.S.-dollar terms, exports fell by 6.2% last month from a year ago. That’s less than the 7.6% drop forecast by analysts in a Reuters poll.
Imports also fell by 6.2% in U.S.-dollar terms in September compared to a year ago — slightly more than the 6% decline expected by the Reuters poll.
