Last Update: 8:33 AM ET June 10, 2005
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. trade gap widened in April despite record exports, the Commerce Department reported Friday.
The trade deficit widened 6.3% to $57.0 billion in April. This is the largest increase since last October.
The widening of the trade deficit matched the consensus forecast of Wall Street economists.
So far in 2005, the trade deficit -- the difference between imports and exports -- is up 12.6% from the pace a year ago. The U.S. trade gap was a record $617.58 billion in 2004.
The trade gap in March was revised down to $53.6 billion, compared with the initial estimate of $55.0 billion.
U.S. producers sold a record amount of goods overseas in April, but on the flip side, U.S. consumers and businesses bought a record amount of imported goods.
Exports rose 3.0% to a record $106.4 billion in April.
Imports rose 4.1% to a record $163.4 billion, mostly as a result of record crude oil prices.
Imports of goods alone rose 4.8% to $136.7 billion. U.S. businesses bought a record amount of industrial supplies- mostly petroleum- and capital goods. The U.S. imported $19.4 billion of crude oil in April, the second highest amount on record.
Consumer good imports rose 7.6% to $31.90 billion.
Exports of goods alone rose 4.2% to $74.5 billion. U.S. farmers sold a record amount of their goods overseas in April. Exports of civilian aircraft also rose 40.8% to $3.21 billion.
The average price per barrel of oil jumped $3.62 to a record $44.76 in April.
The U.S. imported 313.8 million barrels of crude oil in April, or 10.46 million barrels per day, down from 326 million or 10.52 million barrels, in March.
The U.S. trade deficit with China widened to $14.7 billion in April compared with $12.0 billion in the same month last year. Imports of Chinese textiles, a contentious political issue this year as global quotas on textile products have ended, are up 51.7% year to date, the department said.
ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. May import prices plunge 1.3%; First decline in non-oil imports since October

Last Update: 8:32 AM ET June 10, 2005
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Led by a drop in crude oil prices, the prices of imported goods fell 1.3% in May, the first decline since December, the Labor Department said Friday.
Imported oil prices sank 6.5%, while prices of other imports fell 0.3%. It's the first decline in non-oil import prices since October.
Export prices also fell in May, dropping 0.1%. Excluding agricultural goods, export prices fell 0.4%.
Import prices are up 5.7% in the past 12 months, down from the 8.7% year-over-year gain in April.
Economists were expecting import prices to fall 0.2%, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch.
April import prices were revised to a 1.2% increase from 0.8% earlier.
The U.S. government had been running a de facto weak dollar policy to encourage higher prices for imported goods, both to fight possible deflation and to strengthen the competitiveness of U.S.-made goods. But since the first of year, the dollar has been strengthening.
For the second month in a row, prices of Chinese imports rose by 0.1%. U.S. politicians, labor groups and business interests have been blaming Beijing for fixing the value of the renminbi to hold down the prices of its goods.
Prices of imports from most other countries and regions fell in May. Prices of goods imported from Europe dropped 0.3%, the first decline in a year and a half, reflecting a stronger dollar since the first of the year.
Prices of Canadian imports fell 1.5%, the largest decline in over two years.
Prices of imports from Japan were unchanged, the eighth month in a row of no decline.
The decline in non-oil import prices in May was largely due to the 1.5% drop in non-oil industrial supplies and materials prices, the largest decline in two years. Prices for materials such as natural gas, building supplies and metals have risen 7.8% in the past year.
Imported capital goods prices were unchanged in May and are down 0.3% in the past year.
Imported auto prices fell 0.1%, the first decline since September 2003.
Prices of imported consumer goods rose 0.1%.
U.S. agricultural producers enjoyed a 2% price increase. Prices of exported industrial supplies fell 1.1%, led by lower prices for fuel, metals and plastic.
Prices of exported capital goods and consumer goods were unchanged. Prices of exported autos rose 0.1%.
