Chinese exports climbed 7.6% in December compared to a year earlier, as shown by customs data on Tuesday. The recovery in export demands was attributed to the preliminary trade deal agreed upon by China and United States, as further de-escalation of the longstanding tariff war is expected.
The recovery was the first since July 2019 when Chinese exports fell. It was also the fastest growth rate since March of last year.
In a poll, analysts forecasted an average 2.3% increase in exports by December, after the 1.3% fall in November.
