Norway Seafood Exports Snap 10-Month Streak on Salmon Retreat

Norway Seafood Exports Snap 10-Month Streak on Salmon Retreat

Bloomberg04-06-2025
A slump in salmon prices in May contributed to the first annual drop in Norwegian seafood exports after 10 months of growth as production of the pink-fleshed fish rose.
Norway exported 13.6 billion kroner ($1.3 billion) worth of seafood in May, down 2% from a year earlier, the Norwegian Seafood Council said on Wednesday. Reduced volumes for clipfish and a stronger krone against the dollar also contributed to the decline.

South Korea July exports beat forecast on strong chip demand

SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's exports rose for the second straight month in July, beating market expectations on strong chip demand, trade data showed on Friday. Exports from Asia's fourth-largest economy, an early bellwether for global trade, rose 5.9% from the same month last year to $60.82 billion, stronger than the 4.3% increase in June and a 4.6% forecast for July in a Reuters poll of economists. In July, there were signs of front-loading ahead of an August 1 deadline for higher U.S. tariffs, economists said. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday imposing reciprocal tariffs ranging from 10% to 41% on U.S. imports from dozens of countries and foreign locations. With South Korea, Trump signed a trade deal on Wednesday lowering tariffs to 15% from a threatened 25%, which officials, companies and economists cheered for reducing uncertainty over the trade environment. Exports of semiconductors jumped 39.3% in July, the biggest annual increase since October 2024, while cars rose 8.8% on robust demand in non-U.S. markets. Ship exports surged 107.6%. By destination, shipments to the U.S. rose 1.4%, as growing technology demand offset the impact of Trump's tariffs on steel and auto parts. Exports to China fell 3.0%, while those to the European Union rose 8.7%. Imports rose 0.7% in July to $54.21 billion, compared with a gain of 4.3% in June and 2.0% expected by economists. The monthly trade balance stood at a surplus of $6.61 billion, narrower than the previous month's $9.08 billion, which was the biggest since September 2018.

UK CEOs Are More Downbeat About the Economy Than During Lockdown

British executives are less confident in the UK's economic prospects than when the country shut down during the pandemic, a new survey showed, suggesting that the government has lost the support of the business community. The Institute of Directors' gauge of economic confidence plunged to minus 72 in July, down from minus 53 the month before, according to a report published Friday. The reading is worse than the minus 69 recorded in April 2020 when the UK went into Covid lockdown, and the lowest score since records began in 2016.
