(Reuters file photo)KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's October exports rose 18.9% from a year earlier, snapping a two-month streak of slowing annual growth on the back of higher demand for manufactured and mining goods. Export growth was above the 18.5% rise forecast by a Reuters poll, and up from September's 14.8% growth. Malaysia has seen double-digit growth in exports for most of 2017 so far, peaking at 32.5% in May. Most of the manufactured goods were electrical and electronic products. Shipments of mining goods rose 27.3% from a year earlier, the data showed.
