Confusing print

Headline: Exports +1.4% m/m, Imports +3.1% m/m → surplus €15.3bn (down from €16.9bn in Aug; below €18.0bn a year ago).

Mix:

US: exports +11.9% m/m (first rise after 5 declines) but −14% y/y.

China: exports −2.2% m/m; imports +6.1% m/m (pulls the surplus down).

EU ex-euro area: exports +5.1% m/m; euro area exports +1.4%.

Take: Good near-term demand signal, but wider import rebound > export rebound → narrower surplus??
