0736 GMT - China's exports are likely to remain solid in 2026, according to UOB economist Ho Woei Chen in a research note. "Robust artificial-intelligence-related investment globally is likely to continue supporting China's exports through the rest of the year," the economist says. That said, the re-escalation in the Middle East conflict could weigh on the outlook, she adds. UOB lifts its 2026 export and import growth forecasts to 17% and 22%, respectively, from 11% and 15% previously, citing stronger-than-expected trade performance.
