Annmarie Hordern highlights that not a single economist surveyed by Bloomberg had forecast such a pessimistic outcome for China’s industry, retail sales, and investment data.
She points to these results as evidence of the country's ongoing domestic vulnerabilities.
Hordern has previously reported on Bessent’s ongoing currency discussions with Japan’s Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama in talks regarding market volatility. She also covered the U.S. Department of Justice and CFTC investigations into suspicious oil trades ahead of major Trump announcements. Her recent focus remains on unexpected data outcomes and regulatory responses.
