in danger. oh and why are we greek odds we go in search of answers in a documentary film. starts may 21st c w. m d. china gave stock markets a much welcome boost chinese exports proved far stronger than expected fueling hopes the asian powerhouse could soon support a global growth again. and street vendors in asian cities have to reinvent their business model to stay in business. and without a very warm welcome to d.w. business i'm going to johnson berlin and we're starting with some surprise data coming out of china where exports rose in april for the 1st time this year despite

the ongoing kopechne 1000 pandemic and its destructive effect on the global economy behind the scenes trouble is brewing. china's overseas sales were up 3.5 percent for the month of april that's according to the government in beijing whose official numbers are regularly touted by economists it may be a rise in exports of personal protective gear and other goods related to the pender make that helps china's numbers but those effects may be short lived meanwhile economists expect trouble on the horizon for china and it is not because of the tension between beijing and washington he spat between nutrition and sheer ministration i don't think is terribly important what is much more important is the fact that it global supply chain has proved to be problematic and motion issues

will be looking at whether china in the medium and longer term can continue to be seen and say we are liable supplier. while the coronavirus crisis is threatening china's role within the global economy the spat between the white house and beijing is certainly not helping us president trump on wednesday compared the pandemic to an attack against the united states and drew parallels to pearl harbor and 911 trump has also threatened to put an end to a trade agreement long in the works chinese trade negotiators reacted quickly you want you're seeing one thing if they see the pandemic can be compared to poor harbor or 911 the enemy the u.s. faces is the novel coronavirus when faced with humanity's struggle with the same virus i think the us should fight side by side with china as comrades in arms instead of enemies me actually been gentle that genuine for now

surprisingly good economic data can't cover up the strained relationship between the world's 2 largest economies. well meanwhile the pandemic is causing havoc on the in the united states labor market new figures out today show that 3200000 americans filed for unemployment benefits last week as lock down measures devastated the u.s. economy even further it takes the total number of claims since early march to war then $33500000.00 on friday monthly figures are expected to show the jobless rate at a record high of 60 percent. and carter joins us now in new york and so a mixed bag of news today not necessarily nice unemployment figures in the u.s. but then surprisingly strong data from china are what did was treated to react to most. well i mean the figures from china are clearly worse

a pleasant surprise because economists had expected another huge should drop in exports and obviously that did not happen well those figures probably won't be sustainable they had been quite some backlog go specially from some southeast asian nations so the figures will get a bit worse in the next couple of weeks and months probably but still if you look at the market overall we see it to good knowledge ease shares on the rise and not just today but also in the past a couple of weeks actually than a stock called because it is a big where it started its year we live in a more and more digital world to especially and that's what wall street is betting on even if those figures from the labor market clearly are shocking and will also prove in the near future that people just won't spend it all as much as they've done before the crisis hit yes let's talk a little bit about the people we just saw about 3 young gentlemen passing but on

the why is that street you're standing on in front of the the stock exchange is very empty how americans keeping fit these days. well part of them do it indoors for example with indoor bicycled so your if the company peloton which went public last fall whose cable came out with quarterly results and the amount clearly is surpassing the inventory of the peloton the company is not profitable yet but they saw a huge spike in revenue and that stock alone was up by a good jim 16 percent it is a bitch to a surprise because as we mentioned the labor market looks really shocking a lot of people being unemployed and you wonder where people find the resources to buy the bikes or treadmill so from peloton no cost to and $4000.00 up myself

by the way i came here by bike from brooklyn so i don't use of public transport you have to takes me about an hour from home here to wall street and another hour back home so that's my exercise for the day yes that sounds very familiar i do the same here on the island take care of yourself and scott in new york. nobody says it's cutting 3700 of its full time staff because of a drop in business during the corona virus outbreak the right hating company says the worst case scenario could see the number of passengers fall by 80 percent this year has been offering up to 2 weeks of financial support to drive us to a quarantined the firm's food delivery service it's a seen an increase in business it's also full to the company is in talks to invest $170000000.00 in school to high ab ly and. and all for a brief look at some other business stories making the news around the world. the
