Many highlights occurred in the foreign trade," analysts say on the website of "Yiwu Index" when talking about the Prosperity Index in June. These highlights come from two aspects: on one hand, since the World Cup stimulated the demand of many industries and products like trophy cups and colored flags are in high demand, traders remain optimistic about the sales in the following days; on the other hand, with the upturn of the global economy and the increased consumption in the American and European market, the procurement of Christmas items is a bit earlier than before, which has already brought dealers long-term orders and large ones from America and Europe.

It is learned that products ranging from the plastic Christmas snowflake, Christmas pendant and Christmas sticker with a unit price of less than one yuan to the Christmas tree with optical fiber and Christmas decoration kit with a unit wholesale price of several hundred yuan are all favored by the foreign businessmen.

According to the information from Yiwu Customs, the export has shown a good momentum since the beginning of this year whose value has realized a remarkable increase compared with the same period of last year. Due to the effect of the World Cup, the export value of sporting goods goes up rapidly. Statistics from Yiwu Customs say the monthly export value of Yiwu local sporting goods has been over 10 million USD for six consecutive months, and the export value of the first five months of this year increases by 110 percent from the same period of last year.
