China’s export growth slowed last month, weighed down by fewer US orders being made before the two countries came to a 90-day tariff truce. And while June’s prospects look poised to improve, China’s manufacturing and trade sectors remain under strain, according to economists, who also point to lingering uncertainties over American tariffs.
