日本出口实现增长，这主要得益于对美出口八个月来首次回升，抵消了对华出口的下降，这为日本央行 周五加息再添支撑。 总体而言，日本未经调整的贸易收支呈现顺差，盈余为3223亿日元(21亿美元)。进口增长1.3%，略低于 普遍预期。 其中，日本对美贸易顺差为7398亿日元，同比增长11.3%。自美国总统特朗普1月开始第二任期以来， 该顺差持续存在，这意味着尽管特朗普政府试图通过提高关税来缩小贸易逆差，但贸易失衡问题依然存 在。 在美国于9月中旬将日本汽车及零部件关税从27.5%下调至15%后，日本11月对美汽车及零部件出口出现 增长。美国还将许多其他产品的关税设定在相同水平。 对美汽车出口额增长1.5%，而出口数量则跃升7.7%。这种差异持续存在，表明日本汽车制造商正通过 降价牺牲利润以维持市场份额。 不过，上月日本对美出口汽车单价约为408万日元，与4月特朗普首次宣布关税时的水平大致相当。 日本财务省周三报告称，11月整体出口同比增长6.1%，主要受半导体零部件和医疗用品推动。这一数 据超出经济学家预期，其中对美国和欧盟出口分别大幅增长8.8%和19.6%。 对日本央行而言，对美出口的回升将释放积极信号。市场普遍 ...
