加拿大9月对全球贸易顺差扩大至53.5亿加元，因对美国的能源和黄金出口增加似乎抵消了新关税的影响。
Canada’s trade surplus with all countries widened to C$5.35 billion in September, as higher energy and gold exports to the US appeared to offset the impact of new tariffs.
加拿大统计局周三公布的数据显示，尽管出口总额微增0.2%，但在11个产品类别中，有8个类别的出口下降。不包括能源以及金属和非金属矿产品，出口下降5.6%。出口总量按数量计算也下降了4%，为1月份以来的最大跌幅。
Exports declined in 8 out of 11 product sections even as total exports edged up by 0.2%, Statistics Canada reported on Wednesday. Excluding energy and metal and non-metallic mineral products, exports fell by 5.6%. Total exports also decreased by 4% in volume terms, the largest percentage decline since January.
该报告提供了自美国8月底对价值200亿美元的加拿大商品征收所谓“338条款”关税以来，第一个完整月份的贸易数据。特朗普政府最近对这些关税进行了一些调整。
The report provides the first full month of trade data since the US imposed so-called Section 338 tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods in late August. The Trump administration has recently made some adjustments to those levies.
9月加拿大对美国的出口增长0.7%，主要受原油和未锻造黄金出口增加的推动；而进口增长0.4%，部分原因是处理器发货量增加。这使加拿大对美国的贸易顺差从121亿加元小幅扩大至123亿加元。
Exports to the US increased in September by 0.7%, mainly on higher exports of crude oil and unwrought gold, while imports grew by 0.4% partly on higher shipments of processing units. That widened Canada’s trade surplus with the US slightly to C$12.3 billion from C$12.1 billion.
加拿大8月份的贸易顺差也从42亿加元上修至49.5亿加元。接受彭博调查的经济学家此前预计，加拿大9月份的贸易顺差为50亿加元。
Canada’s trade surplus for August was also revised up to C$4.95 billion from C$4.2 billion. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected the country’s trade surplus was C$5 billion in September.
能源出口增长8.2%，因原油和沥青价格走高推动出货量增加。金属和非金属矿产品出口也增长8.6%，原因是美国居民购买了更多的加拿大所持黄金。
Energy exports increased by 8.2%, as higher prices drove up shipments of crude oil and bitumen. Exports of metal and non-metallic mineral products also grew by 8.6%, driven by higher purchases of Canadian-held gold by US residents.
与此同时，进口总额下降0.3%，其中汽车和零部件降幅最大，下降9.1%，因供应问题导致美国出现计划外停工。不包括该类产品，进口增长1.5%。进口总额按数量计算也下降2.5%。
Meanwhile, total imports decreased by 0.3%, with motor vehicles and parts posting the largest decline, falling by 9.1% as supply issues caused unplanned work stoppages in the US. Excluding that product section, imports increased by 1.5%. Total imports also declined by 2.5% in volume terms.
9月，对除美国以外国家的出口下降了1.1%，这是继7月创下历史新高后连续第二次下降。对英国黄金出口、对日本煤炭和小麦出口以及对秘鲁柴油和小麦出口的减少，被对韩国铜、煤炭和原油出口的增加部分抵消。
Exports to countries other than the US fell by 1.1% in September, marking the second consecutive decline after reaching a record high in July. Lower exports of gold to the UK, coal and wheat to Japan as well as diesel and wheat to Peru were partially offset by higher exports of copper, coal and crude oil to South Korea.
来自美国以外国家的进口也下降了1.4%，其中来自中国、日本和墨西哥的进口减少，主要受乘用车和轻型卡车拖累。
Imports from countries other than the US also decreased by 1.4%, amid lower imports from China, Japan and Mexico, mainly driven by passenger vehicles and light trucks.
因此，加拿大对除美国以外国家的贸易顺差从71亿加元略微收窄至70亿加元。
As a result, Canada’s trade surplus with countries other than the US narrowed slightly to C$7 billion from C$7.1 billion.
