U.S. trade deficit shrinks sharply as imports tumble
Jan, 06, 2023 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202301
The U.S. trade deficit contracted by the most in nearly 14 years in November as slowing domestic demand amid higher borrowing costs depressed imports.
The trade deficit decreased 21.0% to $61.5 billion, the lowest level since September 2020, the Commerce Department said on January 05. The percentage decline in the trade gap was the largest since February 2009.
Imports tumbled 6.4% to $313.4 billion, with goods dropping 7.5% to $254.9 billion. Consumer goods imports were the lowest since December 2020.
