摘要

Well, don't look for outright shrinkage, but the emerging strength in exports is the best sign yet that the rate of deterioration is slowing and that the deficit may even level off later this year. The March report on international trade was an eye-opener. The deficit for goods and services posted an unexpected narrowing to 62 billion dollars, from 65.6 billion dollars in February, reflecting a big 1.9 percent gain in exports, while imports fell by 0.8 percent. The immediate implication of the March trade surprise will show up in the governmenf s update of first-quarter economic growth on May 25. The March gap was much less than that assumed by Washington's number crunchers when they first reported growth at a 4.8 percent annual rate. Now economists believe the first-quarter pace will be revised to close to 6 percent. Trade may continue to be less of a drag on the economy this year. The goods sector best tells the story. For the first quarter, real exports of goods (which are adjusted for changes in export prices) increased at a 19.6 percent annual rate from the fourth quarter-the largest quarterly advance in nearly nine years. Some of that surge reflected a post-hurricane rebound, but if s not just a one-quarter blip. The growth rate from the previous year is now up to 12.4 percent, a pace not seen since 2000, while real imports are up only 7 percent (chart).
