Fear of price, chaos pushed O’Hare, JFK trade by increasing 100%in record levels

Trade at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and New York International Airport increased more than 100% since March, according to US census data.

They are the first and only airports, sea rivers or border intersections for more than $ 40 billion in two -way trade in one month.

JFK has made all three months this year, including a record of $ 49.34 billion in January, while O’Hare did it in March, with a nation leading $ 48.54 billion.

It is all about the chaos and the resulting fear caused by President Trump’s trade war with the world, an attempt to tame the US $ 1 trillion deficit. The huge increase in airport growth was driven by imports rather than exports.

This chaos and fear that appeared in the US bond market, leading to a steep cessation of 90 days on “Release Day” following its announcement on April 2. It appeared in transport in stock markets in both the United States and around the world.

President Trump threatened, but never imposed on Colombia on Colombia just more than a week after taking over his duties in January, imposed invoices on steel and aluminum, imposes on car imports, threatened US and USMC The cessation and adaptation of them undermined a wide variety of countries of the world. He stopped the invoices announced to the world and stopped China’s invoices from the embargo levels, the last to fall just outside the first 100 days.

Aircraft and airports are best equipped to handle unprecedented swings in President Trump’s commercial policy in the first 100 days of his second term, given the capacity of the aviation supply chain to generally move high -value and light loads faster than the land.

Perhaps surprisingly, the increase in airports is not even about imports from China, given the attention of US deficit with the productive power of President Trump and most of its recent predecessors.

Nor do the gentlemen have to do with Canada and Mexico. Mexico, Canada and China-the three top US-known US-renowned trade partners retired 41% of all US transactions in 2024.

Ireland is largely for Chicago O’Hare, more specific medicinal products. It is mainly Switzerland for JFK, more specifically gold.

For O’Hare it meant $ 17.31 billion in the category of insulin, hormones and steroids on an annual basis, an increase of 1,795% from the previous first trimester. This meant a 79.21% YTD increase in mobile phones and the relevant equipment. This meant an increase in pills and other drugs in individual doses 104.48% to $ 10.2 billion by March. (In 2024, 70% of mobile phones and relevant equipment came from China in 2025, the rate was reduced to 44%.)

For JFK, this meant an increase of 6,148% YTD to $ 67.37 billion in precious metal articles, which in this case are largely gold.

The increase in both the negotiation and the price of gold-which has been priced for millennia-is a long-term reaction to instability and fear of the economy. The increase in imports has greatly occurred in January – a reaction to the early debate on important invoices and not the invoices themselves. The price has exceeded $ 3,000 per ounce.

Increasing vaccines, steroids, insulin, plasma and pills-in contrast not something that has passed for millennia, but this is the ultimate high-tech product-has largely been an attempt to defeat the obvious invoices.

Consequently, the two airports have ranked the first and second national level and three months this year – a first as close as I can say, from the port of Los Angeles and, more recently, Port Laredo in Texas was historically the leaders at national level.

Port Laredo was first among all ports 18 from 21 months before January 2025, when JFK gold imports increased. The port of Los Angeles was first ranked the other three months in the last two years and most months for decades ago. The two US trade forces are in third and fourth place, respectively.
