U S Trade Shows First Monthly Surplus This Year
The Commerce Department reports a $8.395 billion trade surplus for the month, the first surplus since December, driven by record exports and a sharp but temporary drop in oil imports. Exports topped imports by 8.395 billion, while the year-to-date deficit sits at 670.8 million. The surplus reflects a 24 percent fall in oil imports to 165 million barrels, noted as the 10th lowest level in 11 months, with oil import prospects described as temporarily high.
