In the fourth quarter of 2025, U.S. seasonally adjusted general goods exports reached $525.826 billion, edging down 0.26% from the previous quarter, yet still registering an approximate 3.37% growth compared to the same period last year. Although robust shipments in October temporarily boosted expectations, subsequent declines in non-monetary gold exports and defensive supply chain adjustments driven by tariff policies led to a significant slowdown in export momentum towards the end of the quarter. Overall, the contribution of net exports to Q4 economic growth was drastically revised downward, and the market is closely monitoring the actual impact of subsequent trade barriers on export competitiveness.
