An impetus for today’s rally may have been provided by the macro data from China, among other things. As announced in the morning hours today, China’s economy grew by 4.5% in the first quarter of 2023, the fastest pace in a year.

Moreover, the increase was steeper than expected, as the end of “Zero COVID” led to a surge in consumer spending and factory output. All data were positive across the board. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (YoY) came in at 4.5% in Q1 2023, up from 4.0% estimate.

Retail sales rose to 10.6% in March (YoY), versus 7.4% estimate. The unemployment rate was 5.3% versus 5.5% (estimate).
