The
Department of Commerce reported on Monday that current account (C/A) gap in the
U.S. widened by 0.5 percent q-o-q to $190.3 billion in the second quarter of
2021 from a revised $189.4 billion gap in the previous quarter (originally -$195.7
billion). This was the highest C/A deficit since the second quarter of 2007.
The
deficit was 3.3 percentage of current-dollar GDP in the second quarter, down
from 3.4 percent in the first quarter.
Economists
had forecast a deficit of $191.0 billion.
According
to the report, the $0.9-billion widening of the C/A deficit in the second
quarter mainly reflected reduced surpluses on services and on primary income
that were mostly offset by a lower deficit on secondary income.
Exports
of goods rose $28.3 billion to $436.6 billion, while imports of goods increased
$29.0 billion. The gains in both exports and imports primarily reflected gains
in industrial supplies and materials, mainly petroleum and products.
Exports
of services went up $7.6 billion to $189.1 billion, while imports of services rose
$9.1 billion to $127.8 billion.
Receipts
of primary income grew $7.7 billion to $270.6 billion and payments of primary
income increased $8.8 billion to $221.5 billion. The advances in both receipts
and payments mainly reflected increases in direct investment income, primarily
earnings.
Elsewhere,
receipts of secondary income fell $0.9 billion to $41.6 billion, mainly
reflecting a decline in general government transfers, mostly public sector
fines and penalties. Payments of secondary income went down $3.5 billion to
$72.6 billion, mainly reflecting a decrease in general government transfers,
mostly international cooperation.

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.
