Asian financial markets are displaying significant divergence today. Japan's Nikkei index has plummeted over -4%, reacting sharply to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's election results from last Friday. Shigeru Ishiba, the newly elected LDP leader and Japan's incoming Prime Minister, attempted to soften his previously hawkish stance on the BoJ monetary policy during a interview on Sunday. Despite these efforts, investors remain concerned about the impact of further monetary tightening on the appreciation of Japanese Yen, and the subsequent effects on the nation's export-driven economy.
Bangladesh's National Board of Revenue has discontinued mandatory 100% physical inspection of Pakistani imports, raising concerns about potential illegal transfers of arms and contraband. Instead, Pakistani goods will be examined based on risk assessment. Imports from Pakistan include raw materials for the garment industry, among other goods.

We have written extensively about the deterioration in the trade relationship between the U.S. and China, and how tensions between the two nations have rewired global trade patterns. Following the implementation of Trump-era tariffs, the U.S.-China trade relationship reached an inflection point, and as of the end of 2023, China's trade surplus with the United States was essentially half of what it was relative to before the trade war. However, a deeper dive into global trade flows suggests the overall U.S.-China trade relationship may not necessarily be weakening as much as data suggest. Evidence exists that China may be circumventing U.S. tariffs via proxy nations, and still benefiting from U.S. demand and the United States as a final export destination. In this report, we highlight how the composition of U.S. import partners has changed over time. We also reveal how China's export destinations have also changed, and the same countries the U.S. is importing more from, China is exporting more to.
