Latest data shows that the seasonally adjusted US import value for Q2 (June 2026) fell by 1.84% MoM, a significant pullback compared to the substantial 3.27% growth in the previous reading. This decline was primarily dragged down by capital goods and consumer goods such as computers and pharmaceuticals, but it also subsequently helped narrow the US trade deficit. As the pre-tariff stockpiling wave pauses, short-term import momentum is expected to remain under pressure, yet the long-term demand for AI equipment remains a key pillar of support for the future.
