Both figures are real monthly readings. March 2025 was a record because importers front-ran tariffs; October 2025 was the lowest since 2009 because non-monetary gold was about 90 per cent of that month's rise in exports. The year they belong to closed at $901.5 billion against $903.5 billion — and the goods… ## [A Poll Put Her 29 Points Ahead.
