According to Handelsblatt, the latest export numbers indicate an unexpected strength in China’s external trade. The timing of the development overlaps with the ongoing crisis in Iran and is being viewed in the context of the upcoming visit by US Donald Trump to the United States.
The data suggest that one sector may be benefiting from the energy-related effects of the Iran war, although Handelsblatt does not name a specific industry. The figures are being interpreted as a sign of short-term resilience in Chinese trade.
