FX.co ★ Australia Exports Hit 2-Year High

In October 2025, Australia's goods exports experienced a robust increase of 3.4% from the previous month, reaching a two-year peak of AUD 45.98 billion. This growth follows a downwardly revised rise of 7.6% in September. A significant factor in this expansion was the 14.2% uptick in non-monetary gold shipments, which totaled AUD 6.10 billion, building on a striking 62.2% increase observed in September. Additionally, non-rural goods exports rose by 2.1% to AUD 33.29 billion. This advancement was driven primarily by increased sales of metal ores and minerals, which went up by 2.3%, other mineral fuels with a 4.9% rise, machinery at 6.2%, and other manufactured goods, which saw a 5.0% increase. Meanwhile, rural goods exports saw a modest increase of 0.9%, reaching AUD 6.50 billion, spurred by heightened exports in cereal grains and cereal preparations, albeit up by just 0.1%, and other rural goods, which increased by 1.8%.
