Chinese markets rose today on the back of a weak US dollar and better than expected export data. The operator of the mainland’s busiest harbor said September cargo volume rose for the first time in 11 months. China Cosco Holdings Co., the world’s largest dry-bulk ship operator, added 0.9 percent in Shanghai trading and 0.6 percent in Hong Kong trading. China Shipping Container Lines Co., the country’s second-largest carrier of sea-cargo boxes, advanced 2.2 percent in Shanghai and 1 percent in Hong Kong.
