Fundamental view
The deficit on US trade balance probably widened to 44.900 billion USD during June from a deficit of 44.392 billion USD, registered in May. The trade balance, as an indicator, measures the difference in value between country’s exported and imported goods and services during the reported period. It reflects the net export of goods and services, or one of the components to form country’s Gross Domestic Product. Generally, exports reflect economic growth, while imports indicate domestic demand. In case the trade balance deficit contracted more than anticipated, this would provide support to US dollar. The Bureau of Economic Analysis will release the official figures at 12:30 GMT.
