GLOBAL UPDATES
- The US trade deficit narrowed sharply to USD52.8 billion in September, the smallest since mid-2020 and far below forecasts. Exports rose 3% to the second-highest level on record, driven by nonmonetary gold, pharmaceuticals, and financial services, while imports increased a modest 0.6%. The data also showed large swings tied to tariff-related volatility, with a surge in pharmaceutical imports partly linked to President Trump’s tariff threats. Inflation-adjusted figures showed the merchandise deficit at a five-year low, while record gold exports to Switzerland produced the largest-ever bilateral surplus. The gap with China continued to shrink.(Bloomberg)
