How the US Trade Deficit Shrank Even as Imports Hit a Record

The US trade deficit narrowed to $73.3 billion in June, down from $77.6 billion in May, even though imports hit a record $4.62 trillion annual rate. Lucas and Luna unpack the surprisingly strong export rebound, the role of a softer dollar and a cooling yen, and what the shrinking goods deficit means for GDP growth. They also explore why the current account deficit remains a stubborn two-year high and how services trade is quietly becoming the bright spot. With fresh data from the latest trade report, they cut through the noise to explain what's really driving the numbers—and what it means for your portfolio and the economy. #TradeDeficit #USExports #ImportsRecord #CurrentAccountDeficit #USDollar #Yen #GDPGrowth #ServicesTrade #Economics #TradePolicy #BalanceOfPayments #Macroeconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeData #JuneTradeReport #ExportRebound #GlobalTrade Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
