China: exports -7.5% in May, much worse than estimates.  Imports down 4.5%

China’s trade balance data for May were disappointing.

Chinese exports slipped 7.5% year-on-year to $283.5 billion, far worse than the 0.4% decline expected by economists polled by Reuters.

Julian Evans-Pritchard, head of Capital Economics’ China division, noted that the decline was so sharp that export volumes fell below year-to-date levels.

Imports fell 4.5% year on year to $217.69 billion in May, compared with an estimated 8% decline.
