China just released trade data for October.

Exports climbed 5.6% year-over-year. This beat expectations for a modest 1.7% rise and compares with a 0.3% fall in September.

Meanwhile, imports climbed 7.6% on the year, slightly above expectations for a 7.4% rise.

This compares with a 7.4% rise in September.

Meanwhile, the trade surplus surged to $31.1 billion, beating expectations for $24.1 billion. This is up from $15.21 billion in September.

The better than expected trade data adds to signs that the economy is stabilizing.
