China’s trade surplus for June 2026 reached $125.62 billion, exceeding the market consensus of $121 billion. The surplus widened from $105.43 billion in May, marking a $20.19 billion increase month‑over‑month. This gain extended the steady expansion in China’s external balance observed through the second quarter of 2026. Stronger export growth in electronics and machinery outpaced a moderate rise in imports, driving the larger surplus. Compared with the 12‑month average of roughly $110 billion, June’s figure signaled resilient external demand despite global trade headwinds. Markets will watch July’s customs data and any policy guidance from the People’s Bank of China for further insight into trade momentum. Updated 7/14/26
