"Exports jumped 8.1% last month in U.S. dollar terms from a year earlier, according to data released by China’s customs authority on Friday, sharply beating Reuters’ poll estimates of a 1.9% rise."
The US dollar lost like >5% of its value though.
2024-04-30: 1 USD = 0.93 EUR = 0.91 CHF = 0.80 GBP
2025-04-30: 1 USD = 0.88 EUR = 0.83 CHF = 0.75 GBP
The 1.9% estimate of Reuters might be accurate if adjusted to the USD losing value.
That's fine, I was just quoting the first sentence of the article as the individual seemed to think the article was discussing tonnage instead of sales.
That's good, I definitely missed that when I looked through the article.
