Record-high US trade deficit
Nov, 07, 2021 Posted by Ruth HollardWeek 202142
The US trade balance deficit reached $80.9 billion in September, its highest level in history, with exports falling sharply, while imports continued to rise despite the country’s supply chain and port problems.
The September deficit surpassed the previous record of $73.2 billion in June, the Commerce Department reported yesterday. The deficit is the difference between the value of US exports and imports with the rest of the world.
In September, US exports plunged 3% to US$207.6 billion, while imports increased 0.6% to US$288.5 billion. Goods exports fell sharply, by 4.7%, to $142 billion, while goods imports increased by 0.8% to $240.9 billion, a record high.

Part of the fragility was reflected in the 15.5% retraction in oil exports linked to the deactivation of prospecting platforms and refineries during the passage of Hurricane Ida through the Gulf of Mexico. Economists predict that this decrease will be reversed in the coming months with the resumption of oil production.
