Canada’s trade
deficit widens more than anticipated in April
Statistics
Canada announced on Thursday that Canada’s merchandise trade deficit stood at
CAD3.25 billion in April, widening from a revised CAD1.53 billion gap in March
(originally a CAD1.41-billion gap). That was the largest trade gap since
February 2019.
Economists had
expected a deficit of CAD2.36 billion.
According to
the report, the country’s both imports and exports decreased drastically, due
to production shutdowns in a number of manufacturing industries, falling energy
product prices, the closure of many retail stores, and weaker demand due to
physical distancing measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Canada’s
exports tumbled 29.7 percent m-o-m to $32.66 billion in April, the lowest level
since January 2010, driven by lower exports of motor vehicles and parts (-82.9
percent m-o-m, the largest decline ever observed), energy products (-43.6
percent m-o-m, the largest decrease on record) and consumer goods (-14.5
percent m-o-m).
Meanwhile,
imports plunged 25.1 percent m-o-m to $35.91 billion in April, a level not
observed since February 2011, driven by declines in imports of motor vehicles
and parts (-77.1 percent m-o-m, another unprecedented decline), energy products
(-53.6 percent m-o-m) and consumer goods (-11.6 percent m-o-m, the largest decrease
since 1988).

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
