  • Asian stocks saw an upturn due to gains in US equities and a two-year low in the US inflation rate, reducing global market pressure from rising interest rates

  • China's actual trade balance of USD 70.62B fell short of the forecasted 74.9B, reflecting the global issues of trade slowness and economic stagnation
