Balance of Payments Deficit Reaches Record High
The Commerce Department reports a record 12.1 billion U.S. balance of payments deficit for the July-September quarter driven by foreign speculation on the dollar. Officials warn a pickup in October-December may ease the strain as Nixon resisted further gold payments and import surcharges. The official reserve-transactions balance, covering government and central bank dealings, more than doubled from 5.7 billion in Q2 to 12.1 billion in Q3.
