AI hardware, oil shipments, tariff rush
Imports rose 2.3% to $381.2 billion, with strong demand for tech gear leading the way (economist Grace Zwemmer points out that AI hardware was a big driver here).
Exports went up 2% to $320.9 billion, fueled by oil shipments as shipping routes got disrupted after Iran nearly blocked the Strait of Hormuz.
Plus, a recent Supreme Court decision changed tariff rules from the Trump era, so businesses rushed to import goods before new duties kicked in.
