China posts record $1.189 trillion trade surplus in 2025

BEIJING, Jan 14 (Reuters) - China posted a record $1.189 trillion trade surplus in 2025, as ?producers brace for three more ?years of a Trump ?administration set ?on slowing ?the production powerhouse by shifting ?U.S. orders ?to other markets.

Full-year outbound shipments were ?up 5.5%, ?while ?imports were flat, customs data showed on Wednesday.

With Chinese ?policymakers looking to exports to counteract a prolonged property slump and sluggish domestic ?demand, ?the huge trade surplus risks further unsettling ?economies already concerned about Beijing's trade practices and overcapacity at home, as well as their reliance ?on key Chinese products.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
