China’s trade growth accelerated sharply in June, beating expectations as global demand for AI hardware surged and exporters pulled shipments forward ahead of anticipated tariff hikes. The shipment rush suggests near-term momentum may be stronger, but it is partly driven by front-running rather than purely underlying demand. Overall, the data is a modest positive read-through for companies exposed to AI-related hardware supply chains.
