China's September exports beat forecasts
Reuters reported that China's September exports blew past forecasts and imports accelerated. A market headline service, FinancialJuice, put dollar-denominated exports up 36.3% from a year earlier against a poll of 25.5%; that figure was not confirmed by a second outlet. A Chinese customs official was quoted as saying global uncertainties persist for full-year trade.
Exports are a main prop of China's economy, and a strong print affects commodity prices and the trade debate.
Irish exporters and importers feel Chinese demand and shipping costs indirectly.
Trust the direction (a beat) more than the single-source percentage.
