AU: Global Merchandise Trade, November 2025

November Trade Balance Update

In November, the seasonally adjusted trade balance for goods fell by $1,417 million. This shift was mainly due to a $1,353 million (2.9%) drop in goods exports, largely attributed to declines in metal ores and minerals. Meanwhile, goods imports edged up by $63 million (0.2%), with processed industrial supplies not elsewhere specified being the primary contributor.
