1 Economics China chart book Slowing growth and weakening sentiments Group Research 13 November 1 Nathan Chow Strategist/Economist Please direct distribution queries to Violet Lee + 71 violetleeyh@dbs.com Charts of the month China s exports data in October surprised to the upside (actual: 1. YOY vs. forecast: 11.7 YOY), likely reflecting continued shipment frontloading and strong US demand. However, new export order of the manufacturing PMI suggests that the recent strength in shipment will prove fleeting. The immediate drag will come from slower GDP growth among China s trade partners. Worse, Trump might follow-through on his threat to slap tariffs on all Chinese imports. The resulting rapid deterioration of current account may influence market sentiment on financial stability, as forex reserve may increase at a slower pace or even shrink if the CNY depreciates further. Regional wise, if China had to reduce its trade surplus with the US, it would also likely reduce its trade deficits with other Asian economies. The impact of such a rebalancing should not be underestimated.
