0742 GMT - China's exports are likely to maintain solid momentum, according to UOB economist Ho Woei Chen in a research note. The country's June exports rose at the fastest pace in four months, the economist says. Robust artificial-intelligence investment is likely to continue to support exports in 2H, she says. That said, rising Middle East conflicts and U.S. trade investigations could weigh on Chinese exports in 2H, she adds. Nonetheless, UOB says its current 11% growth forecast for 2026 exports has room to rise. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
