Taiwan export orders to inch just a tad higher

The expected 2% rise is far worse than China's imports by market export growth.

According to DBS, export orders (September) will be closely watched today. It could help to judge whether the surge in September exports was a one-off phenomenon or a start of an improving trend.

Here's more from DBS:

The monthly volatility in export orders growth is lower than that in exports growth, as the orders data are less affected by seasonal and working day factors (compared to the shipment data).

Consensus currently expects a modest 2% (YoY) rise in September export orders, far lower than China's imports by market export growth of 10.4% in the same month.

Indeed, we suspect that there were one-off factors behind the surge in September exports. The rise in exports to ASEAN was mainly driven by stronger demand for mineral products.

The increase in exports to Japan has far deviated from the weak results in Japan’s trade and production data of late.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
