China saw a resurgent wave of COVID-19 infections in the major industrial province of Guangdong. Morgan Stanley preview comments:
- key drag would be COVID disruption on Shenzhen ports, accounting for about 7% of national exports
- has led to slower container throughput growth
- could weigh down national exports by 3-4%
- and thus drag the pace of production in mid- to downstream sectors
- construction activity likely slowed amid higher raw material prices
