50:07Now PlayingChina ended the first half of the year with a record trade surplus of about $586 billion after exports to the US began to stabilize, with factories riding out the tariff rollercoaster that upended global commerce. Exports rose 5.8% in June from a year earlier to $325 billion, exceeding the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of analysts. Imports rose 1.1% to grow for the first time since February, according to data from the General Administration of Customs on Monday. While US tariffs on Chinese goods have been cut back to around 55%, down from as high as 145% in early April, Beijing faces mounting risks from Washington’s evolving trade strategy. Meanwhile the EU is preparing to step up its engagement with other countries hit by Donald Trump’s tariffs following a slew of new threats to the bloc and other US trading partners, according to people familiar with the matter. The contacts with nations including Canada and Japan could include the potential for coordination, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. The move comes as talks between the EU and the US have dragged on and continue to be stuck on several issues, including cars and tariff rates on agriculture. European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said the bloc will extend the suspension of trade countermeasures against the US until Aug. 1 to allow for further talks. In market news, Bitcoin breached $120,000 for the first time, with investor enthusiasm showing few signs of dimming as the US House of Representatives prepares to consider key industry legislation during its “Crypto Week” starting Monday. The cryptocurrency bellwether rose as much 3.4% to $123,205 as of 9:10 a.m. in London as digital assets staged a broad advance.
