China Exports Drop More than Expected
Exports from China shrank 12.4% yoy to USD 285.32 billion in June 2023, the steepest drop since February 2020, following a 7.5% fall in May, and worse than forecasts of a 9.5% fall, amid slowing global demand. Sales were lower for unwrought aluminum and products (-18.9%), steel products (-0.6%), and grains (-36.4%) but increased for refined products (40.8%) and rare earths (17% to 5,009 metric tons, the highest level since March 2020). Among major trade partners, exports to the US slumped by 23.7% from a year earlier, while those to the EU and the ASEAN countries fell by 12.9% and 16.9%, respectively. Conversely, shipments to Russia jumped by 90.9%. For the first half of the year, exports dropped 3.2% from the same period in 2022.

China Exports Drop More than Estimated
Exports from China shrank 7.5% yoy to a three-month low of USD 283.5 billion in May 2023, reversing from an 8.5% growth in April while pointing to the first fall since February and the steepest decline in four months. The latest print was worse than the market consensus of a 0.4% decline, as global demand was insufficient to sustain a recovery in outbound shipments. Among major trade partners, exports to the US plunged by 18.2% from a year earlier, while those to the EU slumped by 26.6%. By contrast, shipments to Russia surged by 114%, particularly energy. Considering the first five months of the year, exports were up 0.3% from the same period in 2022.
