Group 1 - The World Trade Organization (WTO) has revised its global trade outlook from "expansion" to "downward adjustment" due to increasing trade policy activities and geopolitical tensions among major trading partners [1][3] - The WTO report indicates that global trade uncertainty is rising, influenced by regional conflicts and geopolitical tensions, leading to increased volatility and unpredictability in the global trade environment [1][2] - The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) reported that while global trade is expected to grow by $300 billion in the first half of the year, it will face significant headwinds in the second half due to U.S. trade policy uncertainties and global geopolitical tensions [1][4] Group 2 - The WTO calls for countries to reduce tariffs and other trade barriers to promote trade liberalization and economic growth, emphasizing the need for transparency in trade policies [2][5] - The WTO's previous forecast in April predicted a 0.2% decline in global goods trade by 2025, with a 2.5% growth expected in 2026, but this outlook has been revised downward due to U.S. tariff policies [2][3] - The global goods trade barometer showed a rise in the index from 102.8 to 103.5, but a decline in new export orders indicates a potential slowdown in trade growth later this year [4][5]
