China’s Record-Breaking Trade Hit First Big Speed Bump Since May

China’s trade had its worst week in almost three months, a sign this year’s record-breaking volumes may be starting to slow.

Cargo throughput at the nation’s ports was 6.2 million containers last week, according to data released Monday by the Ministry of Transport. That was the lowest since the second week in May and a drop of almost 7% from the previous week, according to the statement.
