## Resource

In this episode of Trade and Tariffs, Lucas and Luna dive into the surprising 35% year-over-year jump in China's May shipments to the U.S., hitting a five-year high. They explore how a strong dollar, tariff loopholes, and rerouted supply chains are fueling this growth, despite ongoing trade tensions. The hosts break down the numbers: China's overall exports jumped 35% in May, the trade-weighted dollar index sits at 120.1, and emerging market ETFs like EEM have dropped 7.1% in five days. They discuss whether this surge is sustainable or a last-minute rush before new tariffs hit. Specific focus on the role of Southeast Asian transshipment hubs and the impact on the U.S. trade deficit, which widened to $60.3 billion in March. A must-listen for anyone tracking global commerce in a protectionist era. #ChinaExports #USTradeDeficit #Tariffs #TradeWar #StrongDollar #EmergingMarkets #SupplyChain #EEM #GlobalTrade #MayTradeData #Commerce #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeAndTariffs #EconomicIndicators #DollarIndex #Transshipment Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
