Core Viewpoint - In May, China's export growth rate recorded a year-on-year increase of 4.8%, showing resilience despite a high base effect and a 3.3 percentage point decline from April, with trade surplus continuing to expand [1][2][12] Export Performance - The export performance in May is characterized by a slight decline but remains robust, primarily driven by re-exports and a temporary easing of reciprocal tariffs [2][12] - The high base from the previous year and significant reciprocal tariffs in early May suppressed exports, while direct exports to the U.S. continue to decline [2][12] - In the latter half of May, the easing of reciprocal tariffs and high export levels to ASEAN and other re-export countries provided support for exports [2][12] Quantity and Price Analysis - The analysis of export growth by quantity and price indicates a decline in quantity-driven growth, while price drag has narrowed [4] - The significant drop in quantity-driven growth is attributed to tariffs and high base effects, with raw materials showing a notable decline in quantity contribution [4] Regional and Category Insights - Exports to the EU (12.1%) and Africa (33.5%) showed a counter-trend increase, while exports to other regions, including Latin America (2.3%) and the U.S. (-34.4%), saw significant declines [6] - The increase in exports to the EU is likely benefiting from European recovery and improved China-EU trade relations, while exports to ASEAN remain high [6] Product-Specific Trends - Integrated circuits continue to see strong re-export activity, with a year-on-year increase of 33.7%, while other electronic products experienced varying degrees of decline [8] - In the automotive sector, exports increased by 13.7%, and shipbuilding exports surged by 44% [8] - Labor-intensive products like clothing (3%) and toys (-0.6%) showed mixed results, with textiles (-1.9%) and footwear (-5.5%) experiencing more significant declines [8] Import Dynamics - In May, China's import growth rate fell to -3.4%, a decline of over 3 percentage points from April, with imports from major trading partners, except the EU (0%), also decreasing [10] - The decline in imports is attributed to reduced demand for assembly materials and weakening domestic demand [10] - Notably, imports of agricultural products saw a significant rebound, with soybeans increasing by 22.6% [11] Trade Surplus - China's trade surplus expanded to $103.22 billion in May, reflecting a recovery from April [12] - Future export outlook suggests that the temporary easing of reciprocal tariffs will expire in a month, and ongoing monitoring of high-frequency indicators is necessary to observe potential turning points in re-exports and direct exports [15]

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Treasury Department has added Ireland and Switzerland to its "currency monitoring list," increasing the total number of closely monitored countries to nine, despite no major trading partners being accused of currency manipulation for unfair trade advantages in 2024 [1][3]. Group 1: Currency Monitoring List - Ireland and Switzerland were added to the currency monitoring list due to their significant trade surplus with the U.S. exceeding $15 billion and a current account surplus over 3% of their GDP [3]. - The report indicates that countries are automatically placed on the monitoring list if they meet specific criteria related to trade surplus and foreign exchange purchasing behavior [3]. Group 2: Responses and Implications - The Swiss National Bank denied any currency manipulation, asserting that it does not attempt to distort trade balances or gain unfair competitive advantages [3]. - The report marks the first currency policy report since Trump's return to the White House, with a noticeably stronger tone compared to previous reports during Biden's administration, which did not label any country as a currency manipulator [3]. - The overall strength of the U.S. dollar has increased by an average of 7% against major currencies in 2024, reducing the incentive for countries to devalue their currencies [3].

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Treasury has placed South Korea back on the "currency manipulation watch list" due to its significant trade surpluses, indicating a political maneuver rather than a purely technical assessment of currency practices [1][3][4]. Group 1: Economic Data and Trends - South Korea's trade surplus with the U.S. surged from $14 billion in 2024 to $55 billion, while its current account surplus increased from 1.8% to 5.3% of GDP [3]. - The U.S. Treasury's criteria for "currency manipulation" lack international consensus and are unilaterally defined, leading to inconsistent application based on political contexts [3][4]. Group 2: Political Implications - The re-inclusion of South Korea on the watch list serves as a warning signal in the context of U.S.-Korea trade and industrial competition, aiming to pressure South Korea into concessions regarding its industrial policies and exports to the U.S. [4][6]. - The U.S. strategy reflects a broader trend of exerting pressure on allied nations in the Indo-Pacific region, highlighting growing tensions in trade, finance, and technology sectors despite strong military ties [6][8]. Group 3: Global Financial System Impact - The U.S. Treasury's actions undermine the multilateral mechanisms for currency monitoring established by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), contributing to the politicization of the international financial system [6][8]. - The use of the "currency manipulation watch list" as a policy tool may lead to increased uncertainty in global finance, affecting investor confidence and the stability of smaller economies [8].
