美国商务部数据显示,8月美国商品和服务贸易逆差升至1056亿美元,环比增长13.7%,为2025年3月以来最高值。进口额增长4.3%至4208亿美元,出口额增长1.4%至3152亿美元。商品贸易逆差增加至1366亿美元,服务贸易顺差增加至310亿美元。对墨西哥、越南、中国、欧盟的商品贸易逆差分别为277、240、164、110亿美元。美媒分析认为逆差扩大主要由人工智能领域商品进口增加拉动,如半导体、计算机等,同时原油和非货币性黄金进口也大幅增长。专家指出,虽然进口增长不利于GDP数据,但反映美国内需强劲而非经济疲软。

美国商务部月度贸易数据显示,8月进出口总额均环比增长,但进口增速快于出口,导致贸易逆差扩大。自2025年3月以来,逆差首次升至1056亿美元以上。
中新社华盛顿10月6日电 (记者 沙晗汀)美国商务部当地时间6日公布数据显示,美国8月商品和服务贸易逆差升至1056亿美元,是自2025年3月以来的最高值。
数据显示,8月美国进口额为4208亿美元,环比增长4.3%;8月美国出口额为3152亿美元,环比增长1.4%。8月美国商品和服务贸易逆差达1056亿美元,环比增长13.7%,高于市场预期。其中,商品贸易逆差增加128亿美元至1366亿美元;服务贸易顺差增加1亿美元至310亿美元。从今年1月至8月,贸易逆差较去年同期减少19.9%,其中出口增加11.8%,进口增加4.4%。
当月,美国对墨西哥、越南、中国、欧盟的商品贸易逆差分别为277亿美元、240亿美元、164亿美元、110亿美元。
美媒分析认为,8月美国贸易逆差大幅增加主要由人工智能领域商品进口额增加拉动,包括半导体、计算机、计算机配件等。此外,美国原油和非货币性黄金进口额当月也出现大幅增长。
按照国内生产总值(GDP)计算方法,进口额会从GDP中扣除,因此进口增长不利于GDP数据。专家认为,8月逆差增加对于美国第三季度经济数据不是好消息,但当前进口增加由人工智能领域商品拉动,显示美国“内需强劲,而非经济疲软”。(完)

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced that the trade deficit reached US$105.6 billion in August, a month-on-month increase of 13.7%, exceeding market expectations. The expansion of the deficit is mainly affected by the increase in imports of AI infrastructure-related goods and the uncertainty of tariff policies. Although import growth reflects strong domestic demand, the trade deficit is still expected to drag down third-quarter GDP, prompting Goldman Sachs and the Atlanta Fed to lower their GDP growth forecasts.

Chen Zhengwen, chairman of Nanqiao Investment Holdings, said that rice crackers and room-temperature rice produced by Nanqiao in Thailand continue to be in short supply.

In July 2026, the price of Arabica coffee futures soared 18% to $3.57 per pound, setting the largest single-day increase in 26 years, and then fell sharply the next day.

At the same time, the Peruvian anchovy fishery has been affected by rising sea temperatures, with catches declining sharply and the price of fishmeal and fish oil more than doubling. Global cocoa, palm oil, sugar and other agricultural products are also facing climate pressure and supply uncertainty is increasing.

According to data from the German Federal Statistical Office, after seasonal and calendar adjustments, new industrial orders in Germany fell by 10.6% month-on-month in August, the largest decline of the year. The decline followed three consecutive months of growth, mainly due to a 61.5% decrease in large orders for manufacturing military vehicles, aircraft and other transportation equipment. Excluding large orders, the month-on-month decrease was only 0.1%. Both domestic and foreign orders fell, with domestic orders down 17.3% and foreign orders down 5.4%. The industry is worried about weak domestic demand, but some economists believe that the overall positive situation has not changed.
