    THE US trade deficit widened sharply in September, likely as a strong US dollar and softening global demand weighed on exports.

    The Commerce Department said on Thursday (Nov 3) that the trade deficit increased 11.6 per cent to US$73.3 billion. Exports of goods and services fell 1.1 per cent, while imports increased 1.5 per cent.

    A smaller trade deficit was the main driver of the rebound in gross domestic product in the third quarter. The economy grew at a 2.6 per cent annualised rate last quarter after contracting at a 0.6 per cent pace in the second quarter. REUTERS
