Shares of American and other international-based companies who export metals and other commodities were mostly trading higher on
Friday after China reported its total imports for the month of September had risen by 18.7 percent, Bloomberg
reported.
"The improvement in imports is impressive," Tao Dong, vice chairman for Greater
China at Credit Suisse in Hong Kong told Bloomberg. "This seems to be a reflection of a modest picking up in China's growth led
by the commodities and machinery sectors, on top of a robust IT industry. The economy is improving."
Here's a roundup of one dozen stocks that appear to be moving higher on China's imports moving higher with particular strength
seen in aluminum stocks.
