His views are irrelevant and he is ignored by sober members of the FOMC.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"341\">Chinese trade data the focus otherwise today. China\u2019s export momentum is expected to have eased in March as the boost from AI-driven demand runs into the headwinds of rising geopolitical tensions and higher energy costs linked to the Iran conflict. A Reuters poll forecasts exports grew 8.6% year-on-year in dollar terms, a sharp slowdown from the 21.8% surge seen across January and February.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"343\" data-end=\"791\">The month represents an early test of whether strong demand for AI-related goods, such as semiconductors and servers, can offset the drag from the global energy shock following Iran\u2019s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for roughly 20% of global oil and gas flows. While China entered 2026 with export strength that raised expectations of surpassing last year\u2019s record $1.2 trillion trade surplus, the war has cast doubt on that trajectory.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1101\">Higher fuel and transport costs are eroding global purchasing power, affecting demand for Chinese goods. However, some analysts suggest Chinese exporters could remain competitive as buyers shift toward lower-cost suppliers. Long-standing stockpiling of commodities may also help cushion input cost pressures.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1371\">Forecasts for March exports vary widely, with some projecting strong growth near 20% and others expecting a much softer outcome closer to 3%. A high comparison base from last year\u2014when exporters rushed shipments ahead of U.S. tariff changes\u2014may also weigh on the data.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1373\" data-end=\"1618\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Imports are expected to rise 11.2%, down from earlier gains, while the trade surplus is seen narrowing to $108 billion. Meanwhile, strong semiconductor demand continues to signal resilience in tech-linked trade flows despite broader uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miran is speaking soon.
