China April March Industrial output +6.7%y/y (expected +5.5%) Retail sales +2.3%(3.8% exp)

Key economic indicators from China for March 2024.

Unemployment Rate 5.0%

  • expected 5.2%, prior 5.2%

So, a bit of encouraging news and some not so good.

  • Factory output beat, unemployment beat.
  • Retail and investment miss

Domestic consumption, as reflected in that miss for retail sales, is still struggling.
