China Trade Balance Surplus Smaller Than Expected In May

China trade balance was reported at USD 13.5 billion vs. USD 11.4 billion in April and USD 19.3 billion consensus. Export and import growth were running at 19.4 and 28.4 percent vs. 29.9 and 21.8 percent y-o-y in April.

Big miss, but we had large positive surprise in April.
