00:02China's exports are expected to surge 33.5% year-over-year in October, according to a Reuters
00:09poll, as global demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure drives shipments, according to
00:14Reuters. The forecast follows a 36.3% increase in September. Imports are projected to rise 32%,
00:22while October's trade surplus is expected to reach $125.8 billion. That would push
00:29China's surplus above $1 trillion for the first 10 months of 2026, potentially intensifying
00:36trade tensions with the European Union and the U.S. Strong exports have supported China's
00:41economic growth amid weak domestic consumption. However, an official manufacturing survey showed
00:47contractions in new orders and export orders in October. Analysts remain divided over the
00:53outlook for AI-related exports. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
