U.S. trade deficit narrows at start of 2019
The numbers: The U.S. trade deficit sank 15% in January to a five-month low, largely reflecting cheaper oil, a surge in soybean exports and lower imports from China due to disruptions cause by a festering dispute with the Trump administration.
Soybean exports soared to $1.21 billion in January from less than $300 million in December. They were also up almost 50% compared to the same month a year earlier. The rift between the U.S. and China, meanwhile, continues to disrupt the enormous flow of trade between the two countries. The U.S. and China have been locked in intense talks to resolve the dispute , but the standoff has clearly taken a toll.Big picture: The dispute between the U.S. and China has cast a pall over the global economy and so far an agreement remains out of reach. The impasse is likely to weigh on both the U.S. and global economies unless a far-reaching compromise is struck.
