China’s Exports Tumble Again in May as Global Demand Stays Weak

Share Print 0

May’s soggy Chinese trade data offered the latest sign that the world’s second-largest economy was still a long way off from full health.

Exports in dollar-denominated terms tanked 4.1 percent on-year, more than double April’s 1.8 percent fall and slightly worse than estimates for a 3.6 percent decline, Reuters said on Wednesday.

Imports meanwhile edged down 0.4 percent on-year, narrower than April’s 10.9 percent tumble and the 6 percent slide anticipated.
