Latest Updates

Australia’s goods exports grew 3.4% month-on-month to a two-year high of AUD 45.98 billion in October 2025, after a downwardly revised 7.6% rise in September. The increase was largely driven by a 14.2% increase in non-monetary gold shipments to AUD 6.10 billion, following a 62.2% surge in September, amid rising prices. Exports of non-rural goods climbed 2.1% to AUD 33.29 billion, led by higher sales of metal ores and minerals (2.3%), other mineral fuels (4.9%), machinery (6.2%), and other manufactures (5.0%). Meanwhile, shipments of rural goods rose 0.9% to AUD 6.50 billion, boosted by higher exports of cereal grains and cereal preparations (0.1%) and other rural goods (1.8%). Among trading partners, exports increased to South Korea (39.1%), India (70.6%), and Japan (10.9%), while exports to the United States fell 18.5% due to the impact of newly imposed tariffs. Shipments to China, Australia’s top trading partner, also dropped by 2.2%.
