Trade deficit near record as China imports surge
Washington reports January monthly trade deficit at 68 billion dollars, second-highest ever, driven by clothing imports from China amid quotas. Consumer confidence rises in March per separate AP survey. 2004 set another record trade gap of 617.1 billion, with 2005 expected to follow. Dow falls 77 points as markets react. Experts cite global growth imbalance and dollar depreciation with China’s yuan policy remaining a point of contention.
