The economic resilience of the world’s second-largest economy will be headwind for oil prices

China’s Q1 GDP grew by 4.5%, exceeding expectations of a 4.0% expansion and marking the fastest pace of growth since Q1 2022. On a quarter-by-quarter basis, the GDP grew by 2.2% in Q1, compared to a revised 0.6% rise in the previous quarter. Retail sales surged 10.6%, while value-added service output rose 5.4%, and value-added industrial production was up 3%, following the National Bureau of Statistics data. The data indicates that the economy is rebounding, led by consumption, services, and infrastructure. However, there are concerns about the strength of domestic demand, given easing inflation and surging bank savings. The government has set a target of around 5% for this year’s economic growth after failing to meet its 2022 goal.

Tesla’s first-quarter net income fell 24% from a year ago, despite sales rising 36% to a record 422,875 vehicles worldwide.

CEO Elon Musk hinted that price cuts might not be over, stating that Tesla evaluates them daily to keep producing the maximum number of vehicles possible. Shares of Tesla fell 2% during trading and dropped 6% more in extended trading after the earnings were released.
