China's May Retail Sales Decline, Industrial Output Beats Expectations

Ava Morgan 1 day ago
China's May economic data revealed a mixed picture. Industrial output exceeded expectations, rising by 4.5%. However, retail sales experienced their first contraction since December 2022, falling 0.6%. This decline signals a domestic demand problem that government stimulus and holiday spending have not overcome. Fixed asset investment also fell more than anticipated, further compounding concerns about economic weakness, according to reporting via Reuters.
