Trade deficit widens to record $43.1 billion in January
Wednesday March 10, 8:51 am ET
By Jeannine Aversa, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- America's trade deficit mushroomed to a record $43.1
billion in January as sales of foreign-made goods posted their second best
month ever, a fresh sign of better economic times in the United States.
The trade gap reported by the Commerce Department on Wednesday was 0.9
percent larger than the $42.7 billion deficit registered in December.
January's trade deficit swelled as the value of imported goods and services
eclipsed the value of U.S. exports.
Imports of goods and services came to $132 billion in January, the
second-highest level on record. Still, that represented a tiny 0.5 percent
dip from the record level of imports seen in December. The economic rebound
in the United States has fed demand for foreign-made goods.
Exports, meanwhile, totaled $89 billion in January, representing a 1.2
percent decrease from December. That largely reflected weaker demand for
U.S. food products. Exports of meat and poultry in January plunged by 40
percent to $379 million, the lowest level since November 1993, as the first
case of mad cow disease in the United States stalled beef exports to many
countries.
The latest snapshot of trade activity comes as tensions have grown over
global trade and the migration of jobs in the United States to other
countries.
President George W. Bush on Tuesday promoted trade as crucial to economic
growth and renewed a warning against "economic isolationists" who question
free-trade deals. The charge of economic isolationism was aimed at
presidential candidate John Kerry.
Kerry supported the North American Free Trade Agreement and world trade
deals. On the campaign, he has said he would place all trade deals under a
120-day review and wants labor and environmental standards in new
agreements. He also would require companies to provide notice before moving
jobs to other countries.
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan last week said that a weaker U.S.
dollar should eventually help narrow the country's swollen trade deficits.
He also repeated a warning that "creeping protectionism" could hurt the
flexibility of the global economy -- something that has played a key role in
helping the United States and other countries weather economic hard times.
America's politically sensitive trade deficit with China expanded to $11.5
billion in January, up from $9.9 billion in December.
U.S. manufacturers contend that China is deliberately undervaluing it
currency, the yuan, by as much as 40 percent, giving that country a big
trade advantage when competing with U.S. companies and contributing to the
loss of U.S. jobs.
The Bush administration has been pressing Beijing to stop linking its
currency to the dollar and let the value of the yuan be set in open markets.
The U.S. trade deficit with Japan, meanwhile, narrowed to $5.3 billion in
January, compared with $5.7 billion the month before. U.S. exports to the
country, valued at $4 billion, marked the lowest level in a year.
America's trade deficit with Mexico of $3 billion in January was the lowest
since December 2002. The United States' trade gap with Canada widened in
January to $5.2 billion, up from $4.4 billion in December.
The United States' trade deficit with oil-producing nations, including Saudi
Arabia and Venezuela, grew to $4.7 billion in January, the highest level
since April 2003. The average price per barrel of imported crude oil in
January, meanwhile, climbed to $28.55, the highest since March 2003.

 Secondo me è il deficit che gonfia la ripresa (cioè il PIL).
Purtroppo per te, conta più cosa pensano loro :-)

Non ho posizioni sul mercato e quindi per me possono portare la baracca dove
vogliono. Non mi fa nè caldo nè freddo.
Se aumentano i tassi prendo qualcosa di più sul conto arancio, ma niente per
cui valga la pena scaldarsi più di tanto.
Però, insomma, non ci vuole un genio della finanza per capire che gli USA
non possono andare avanti esportando solo debiti.
Immagina se tu, a casa tua, anzichè portare fieno in cascina, fai 5000 euro
di nuovi debiti tutti i mesi. Sai che festa.
Che la svalutazione del dollaro doveva aiutare a contenere il deficit delle
partite correnti l'ha detto Greenspan, non io.
Al di là delle balle che raccontano i giornalisti, lui dovrebbe essere il
primo ad essere poco soddisfatto dei risultati fin qui ottenuti.

Stanne certo che fra qualche giorno diranno che la verdura e il pesce sono

Dato che il problema è da ricondursi a scarse vendite nel
