Washington - AFP

The US trade deficit narrowed to $40.6 billion in October on a strong rise in exports, the Commerce Department  reported Wednesday. The trade gap fell 5.4 percent from September's upwardly revised number of $43.0 billion. Exports rose 1.8 percent from September to a record $192.7 billion in October. Imports were up a modest 0.4 percent at $233.3 billion, their highest level since March 2012. Imports of crude oil, which account for 10 percent of US imports, rose 0.8 percent to $23.9 billion in October. The October reading was a hair higher than analyst expectations. "The trade data suggest that external demand for US goods is improving, suggesting a somewhat stronger global economy, and still resilient US domestic demand," said Tu Packard of Moody's Analytics. Year-over-year, the US trade deficit fell 4.9 percent in October.
