BEIJING—China's exports unexpectedly shrank in September, in a sign of
weakening global demand for its products and a potential headwind for
the world's No. 2 economy.
Exports fell 0.3% in September compared with the year-ago period, data
from the General Administration of Customs showed o This
was sharply down from August's 7.2% growth and far below economists'
median forecast of a 5.5% expansion.
Imports rose 7.4% on year, slightly up from the 7% rise in August and
beating economists' median forecast of a 6.75% increase. China's trade
surplus narrowed in September to $15.2 billion from $28.52 billion in
August.
