"With imports still down on a year ago in real terms, this trade data does not suggest a material pickup in domestic demand momentum in October," Louis Kuijs of Oxford Economics said in a report. Purchases of raw materials such as crude oil and soybeans went up in quantities, but China paid far less for the goods than a year ago because of lower prices.
