Australia ran an unexpected trade deficit of A$3.0 bln in May (about $2.1 bln), the second monthly deficit this year and the largest gap since 2015, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said Thursday. Exports fell 6.9% month-on-month while imports rose nearly 3%, driven by higher fuel costs and sustained data‑centre equipment purchases. The Middle East conflict pushed import spending higher: fuel and lubricants purchases reached a record A$8.6 bln in May, the second month above A$8.0 bln. Data‑centre equipment imports remain elevated, though below March’s peak; HSBC says Australia’s data‑centre buildout ranks among the world’s largest. On the export side, gold exports fell by more than A$2.0 bln and LNG shipments declined, weighing on overall export receipts.

SK Hynix said it will invest 80 trillion won (about $51.5bn) to build a new NAND flash fab targeted to start operations in 2029 to ease AI-driven storage shortages. The CEO, speaking at an event attended by South Korea's Lee, said construction of the new M17 fab in Cheongju will begin next year. The company also plans a further 20 trillion won investment in a Cheongju packaging plant, aimed for completion by end-2027.
