US: Trade deficit increases to $74.6 billion in April vs $75.2 billion expected

  • US Goods and Services Trade Balance came in at -$74.6 billion in April.
  • US Dollar Index stays in the daily range below 104.00.

The United States international trade deficit in goods and services rose by $14 billion to $74.6 billion in April, the data published jointly by the US Census Bureau and the US Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed on Wednesday. This reading came in slightly below than the market expectation for a deficit of $75.2 billion.

Key takeaways from the report:

April exports were $249.0 billion, $9.2 billion less than March exports. April imports were $323.6 billion, $4.8 billion more than March imports.

The April increase in the goods and services deficit reflected an increase in the goods deficit of $14.5 billion to $96.1 billion and an increase in the services surplus of $0.6 billion to $21.6 billion.

Year-to-date, the goods and services deficit decreased $86.5 billion, or 23.9 percent, from the same period in 2022. Exports increased $55.9 billion or 5.8 percent. Imports decreased $30.6 billion or 2.3 percent.

Exports of goods decreased $9.4 billion to $167.1 billion in April.

Exports of services increased $0.2 billion to $81.9 billion in April.

Imports of goods increased $5.2 billion to $263.2 billion in April.

Considering figures for the first quarter, the biggest surpluses in trade were with South and Central America ($19.6), Netherlands ($13.5) and Australia ($8.2). The biggest deficits were recorded with China ($65.3), Mexico ($38.7), European Union ($35.0), Vietnam ($23.7), Germany ($22.5) and Japan ($16.6).

Market reaction: 

The data was ignored by market participants. The US Dollar is trading in negative territory on Wednesday as the attention is set on next week’s inflation data and FOMC meeting. The DXY is falling 0.15% on the day, trading slightly below 104.00.

Upozorenje o rizicima

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.
