Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • Chinese exports to the U.S. fell 35% year-over-year in May, the largest drop since February 2020, despite a recent trade truce.
  • Overall exports rose 4.8% in May, weaker than expected, while imports declined 3.4%, reflecting soft domestic demand.
  • The U.S.-China trade truce temporarily reduced tariffs, but mistrust and ongoing disputes over rare earths, AI chips, and student visas persist.
  • China’s trade surplus widened to$103.22 billion in May, but weak domestic demand and deflationary pressures continue to weigh on the economy.

What Happened?

China’s exports to the U.S. dropped 35% in May, marking the steepest decline since the early days of the pandemic. The sharp drop reflects the lingering impact of President Trump’s tariffs, which have reshaped trade flows between the two largest economies.

While overall Chinese exports rose 4.8% year-over-year, the growth was weaker than the 5.6% economists had expected and down from April’s 8.1% increase. Imports fell 3.4%, signaling weak domestic demand and ongoing economic challenges.

The decline in U.S.-bound shipments comes despite a recent trade truce, which temporarily reduced tariffs on both sides. However, mistrust remains high, with disputes over rare earth exports, AI chip controls, and visa restrictions adding to tensions.


Why It Matters?

The steep decline in exports to the U.S. underscores the lasting impact of the trade war on China’s economy and its trade relationships. While the trade truce has provided temporary relief, the broader economic and geopolitical tensions between the two nations continue to disrupt supply chains and trade flows.

China’s weak import data and deflationary pressures highlight the challenges of stimulating domestic demand, even as Beijing implements measures like interest rate cuts and liquidity injections. The widening trade surplus reflects an imbalance between sluggish domestic consumption and resilient export activity to other regions, such as Southeast Asia and the EU.

The ongoing trade war and its associated uncertainties are likely to weigh on global economic growth, particularly as businesses remain cautious about long-term investments and supply chain decisions.


What’s Next?

U.S. and Chinese officials are meeting in London this week to discuss trade issues, including rare earth exports and tariff policies. The outcome of these talks will be critical in determining the future trajectory of U.S.-China trade relations.

China is expected to release more detailed trade data later this month, including a breakdown of rare earth exports and their destinations. Policymakers in Beijing will likely continue efforts to stimulate domestic demand, but the effectiveness of these measures remains uncertain.

Global businesses and investors will closely monitor the trade talks and their implications for supply chains, particularly in high-tech and manufacturing sectors. The potential for further tariff reductions or escalations will remain a key risk factor for both economies.
