U.S. current account deficit widens less than expected in Q4
The Department
of Commerce reported on Tuesday that current account (C/A) gap in the U.S. widened
by 4.2 percent q-o-q to $188.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020 from a
revised $180.9 billion gap in the previous quarter (originally -$178.5
billion).
The deficit was
3.5 percentage of current-dollar GDP in the fourth quarter, up from 3.4 percent
in the third quarter.
Economists had
forecast a deficit of $189.9 billion.
According to
the report, the $7.6 billion widening of the C/A deficit in the fourth
quarter mainly reflected an expanded deficit on goods and a reduced surplus on
services that were partly offset by a reduced deficit on secondary income.
Exports of
goods rose $30.9 billion, to $387.5 billion, and imports of goods jumped $36.4
billion, to $640.5 billion. The gains in both exports and imports reflected
increases in nearly all major categories.
Exports of
services went up $3.8 billion, to $168.1 billion, while imports of services rose
$6.9 billion, to $115.1 billion.
Receipts of
secondary income declined $1.0 billion, to $36.0 billion, reflecting a decrease
in private transfer, that was partly offset by an increase in general
government transfers, primarily taxes on income and wealth. Payments of
secondary income fell $2.4 billion, to $72.4 billion, reflecting decreases in
private transfers and in general government transfers, mostly international
cooperation.
Elsewhere, receipts
of primary income grew $7.1 billion, to $248.4 billion, and payments of primary
income increased $7.5 billion, to $200.5 billion. The advances in both receipts
and payments mainly reflected increases in direct investment income, mostly
earnings, and in portfolio investment income, mostly income on equity
securities.

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.
