日本6月贸易逆差扩大 出口进口双双增长

日本6月份录得贸易逆差406.9亿日元（2.5亿美元），较上年同期的122亿日元顺差出现反转，这是连续第二个月出现赤字 1。

出口和进口均实现增长。日本6月出口同比增长19%至10.9万亿日元，进口增长25%至11.3万亿日元 1。进口增速超过出口增速，是贸易逆差扩大的主要原因。

日元贬值和油价上升推高了进口成本。美元兑日元汇率从一年前的140日元升至约163日元 1，日元走弱增加了以外币计价商品的购买成本。同时，布伦特原油从年初约60美元/桶升至最高114美元/桶，近期在90美元水平交易 1。日本6月油进口来自美国的部分同比激增近五倍 1。

上半年整体贸易数据显示，日本出口增加近14%至60.6万亿日元，进口增加近11%至61.9万亿日元 1。

Japan recorded a trade deficit of 40.69 billion yen ($2.5 billion) in June, marking a sharp reversal from a surplus of 12.2 billion yen in the same month a year earlier and the second consecutive monthly deficit 1. Exports grew 19 percent year-over-year to 10.9 trillion yen, while imports surged 25 percent to 11.3 trillion yen 1.

The yen's depreciation played a significant role in the trade dynamics, with the dollar-to-yen exchange rate rising from approximately 140 yen a year ago to around 163 yen 1. Rising oil prices compounded the import burden, with crude oil imports from the United States nearly quintupling in June compared to the previous year 1. Brent crude oil climbed from approximately $60 per barrel at the start of the year to a peak of $114 per barrel, though it has traded around $90 recently 1.

For the first half of the year, exports increased nearly 14 percent to 60.6 trillion yen, while imports rose nearly 11 percent to 61.9 trillion yen 1.
