FX.co ★ Australia Trade Surplus Beats Estimates

In September 2025, Australia's trade surplus for goods significantly expanded to AUD 3.94 billion, a notable increase from the revised AUD 1.11 billion recorded in August, and exceeding market predictions of AUD 3.85 billion. Export figures demonstrated a robust month-over-month rise of 7.9%, reaching AUD 44.58 billion in September. This marked a strong recovery from the previously adjusted 8.7% decline experienced in August. A key factor in this rebound was the 62.2% increase in non-monetary gold exports, which soared to AUD 5.34 billion after plummeting by 47.2% the month before. On the import front, incoming shipments reached an all-time high of AUD 40.64 billion, a 1.1% increase following a slightly revised 3.3% growth in August.
