China's economy showed signs of slowing in April as retail sales grew only 0.2%, industrial output rose 4.1%, and urban fixed asset investment contracted 1.6%, all missing expectations. The slowdown is partly attributed to the impact of the Iran war dampening domestic demand, despite a strong export surge of 14.1%. Urban unemployment slightly improved to 5.2%. Policymakers are expected to hold off on new stimulus until clearer signs of economic decline emerge, while trade talks with the U.S. continue to focus on expanding cooperation and reducing tariffs.
