Sales spiked by 13% to USD 143.3 bn, growing beyond the USD 142.5 bn average. The tech giant\u2019s earnings growth was driven by marked interest in AI. Amazon\u2019s leading cloud-computing services subsidiary Amazon Web Services recorded a 17% jump in revenues to USD 25 bn, exceeding expectations of USD 24.53 bn.

Exports to the US reached a record high of USD 11.4 bn, a 24% y-o-y increase. Shipments to China amounted to USD 10.5 bn, making April the third month with exports to the US exceeding those to China. The shift in South Korea\u2019s trade activity comes amid efforts by the US to curb China\u2019s dominance in global trade, with China having stood as the primary destination for South Korean products for two decades.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>El Nino is to blame for the reduced water levels at the Panama Canal last year<\/strong><strong>,&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>not <\/strong><strong>climate change<\/strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/el-nino-water-management-issues-blamed-snarling-panama-canal-2024-05-01\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reports, citing <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.worldweatherattribution.org\/low-water-levels-in-panama-canal-due-to-increasing-demand-exacerbated-by-el-nino-event\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">a study<\/a> by research firm World Weather Attribution.
