Japan's Trade Surplus Sinks in October

Japan's trade performance has been strong, with exports growing by double digits for four consecutive months, leading to a trade surplus of $2.6 billion. This growth is the best since 2008, driven by a recovery in both overseas and domestic markets. Key export sectors include cars, chemical products, and machinery for electronics, with significant demand from China, the EU, and the US. Despite stable export volumes, the value of exports has increased significantly due to monetary easing, resulting in higher profits for Japanese companies.
