Improvement in balance of payments shows dramatic shrinkage
The Commerce Department reports the April to June deficit narrowed by about 2.5 billion on the official reserve transactions measure, leaving a red ink of 831 million. A second measure, the net liquidity balance, shows a 2.3 billion deficit, down 800 million from Q1. The decline follows a NYSE-style dollar pressure and pound sterling events in late June. The department notes historically large deficit last year and ongoing speculative pressures in foreign exchange markets.
