China’s industrial output accelerated and retail sales grew for the first time this year, beating analysts’ forecasts.

The yuan surged in both offshore and onshore trading. The offshore yuan hit a 16-month high of 6.7725 versus the US dollar before easing slightly.

“Overall, the latest monthly activity data provides encouragement that positive cyclical momentum in China will be sustained through the rest of this year,” wrote Lee Hardman, currency analyst at MUFG.

He said the data was “a supportive development for Asian and commodity-related currencies such as the Australian dollar.”

The US dollar slipped, although it recovered some of its overnight losses in early London trade leaving the dollar index 0.1 percent lower on the day at 92.946 by 0718 GMT.
