According to data released by the Chinese Customs Authority on Thursday, September 7th, the exports of the world’s second-largest economy declined by approximately 8.8% on a year-on-year basis last month, which was below analysts’ expectations of a 9.2% decrease.

Risk Statement:


All investments entail risks and can result in both profits and losses. Leveraged products, in particular, may not be appropriate for all investors as the effect of leverage is that both gains and losses are magnified. Before deciding to invest in any financial product, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, financial knowledge and experience and affordability as the prices of leveraged products may change to your disadvantage very quickly, it is possible for you to lose more than your invested capital and you may be required to make further payments.
