Statistical Timeframe：
Data is collected from the eve of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election until one month after its end.
The index will be updated regularly afterward or adjusted following significant political and economic events.
The Exporters Expectations Index rose from 42.8 (pre-election) to 45.1 (post-election), reflecting reduced uncertainty and cautious optimism toward the new pro-business administration following the U.S. presidential election.
However, with the index remaining below the neutral threshold of 50, the results underscore exporters' continued caution in navigating a complex and challenging global trade environment.
