Chinese trade jumped in July, beating forecasts

China's exports expanded 7.2% year-on-year in July, official data showed Thursday, as the world's second-largest economy navigated a shaky trade war truce with the United States.

The increase in overseas shipments last month outpaced a Bloomberg forecast of 5.6% growth. Imports surged 4.1% year-on-year in July, beating a Bloomberg forecast of a one-percent slump.
