BEIJING, Dec 7 (Reuters) - China's foreign exchange reserves fell $9 billion in November to $3.096 trillion, central bank data showed on Saturday.
Analysts polled by Reuters had expected China's reserves, the world's largest, would ease to $3.101 trillion from $3.105 trillion in October. But they have been generally trending higher this year, despite the slowing Chinese economy and the escalating U.S.-China trade war.
