FX.co ★ China’s Exports Slip in March, Easing to 23.80M From February Peak

China’s export performance softened in March 2026, with outbound shipments totaling 23.80M, down from 36.10M recorded in February 2026, according to the latest data updated on 14 April 2026. The figures point to a notable pullback following February’s higher export level.

The decline from 36.10M to 23.80M suggests a slowdown in external demand or a normalization after a stronger prior month. While the data do not break down sector performance or destination markets, the month-on-month drop indicates that China’s export momentum moderated as the first quarter drew to a close.

Analysts and investors will be watching upcoming releases to determine whether March’s weaker figure is a temporary adjustment or the beginning of a broader cooling in China’s export cycle, a key pillar of the country’s economic activity and its trade position globally.
