U.S. trade gap shrinks to $51.6 billion
By Ciara Linnane, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 8:45 AM ET Nov. 10, 2004
WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - A strong euro and a strong hurricane helped cut the U.S. trade deficit by 3.7 percent to $51.6 billion in September.
Imports fell 0.8 percent to $149 billion while exports increased 0.8 percent to a record $97.5 billion, the Commerce Department estimated Wednesday.
Despite higher prices, the nation's bill for imported crude oil fell to $11.4 billion because imports were disrupted for a time by a powerful hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.
The trade deficit with the European Union declined 20 percent to $7.7 billion, while the gap with euro countries plunged 29 percent to $5.7 billion. The value of the euro has strengthened against the dollar, reducing the relative competitiveness of European goods.
Meanwhile, the trade gap with China widened to a record $15.5 billion behind record imports of $18.4 billion.
Economists polled by CBS MarketWatch were expecting, on average, a trade gap of $53.8 billion.
The trade gap in August was revised lower to $53.5 billion from $54 billion earlier. The deficit averaged $51.9 billion per month in the third quarter.
Trade issues have moved to the top of the nation's worry list. The Federal Open Market Committee is expected to raise interest rates at Wednesday's closed-door meeting as it addresses such thorny issues as high oil prices, the value of the dollar, the rising current account deficit, and the loss of manufacturing jobs.
In September, the price of imported oil increased $1.25 to a record $37.62 per barrel. The United States imported 10.12 million barrels of petroleum a day, the lowest since February. For the first nine months of the year, the price of imported petroleum averaged $32.66 a barrel.
The increase in U.S. exports was largely driven by foods and feeds, and industrial materials, including soybeans, organic chemicals, gold and plastics. Exports of capital goods also increased, especially high-tech gear like computers and semiconductors.
Exports of consumer goods rose to a record level of $8.8 billion despite a large drop in exports of pharmaceuticals.
The decrease in imports largely reflected a decline in industrial materials, including fuel oil, organic chemicals and crude oil. Imports of nonpetroleum goods rose to a record $109 billion.
Imports of capital goods increased to $29.5 billion, the highest in nearly four years, driven by stronger demand for drilling and oil field equipment, and civilian aircraft and engines.
Imports of autos increased to a record $19.5 billion, mostly from Mexico. Imports from Canada dropped. Exports of autos fell to $7.7 billion, the second highest ever.

ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. import prices jump 1.5%; Oil imports spike 11.7%, largest jump since before war
By Corbett B. Daly, CBS MarketWatch

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Higher oil prices caused the prices of imported goods to rise 1.5 percent in October, the Labor Department said Wednesday.
Prices of imported oil spiked 11.7 percent on the month, the largest monthly increase since before the U.S. ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein from power.
Economists polled by CBS MarketWatch had been expecting an overall rise of 1.3 percent in October.
Non-oil imports fell 0.2 percent in October, the first decline in a year. In the past year, overall import prices have risen 9.7 percent.
Oil import prices have risen 67.6 percent over this same 12-month period, the largest annual increase since the year ended February 2003. Non-oil imports have risen 2.7 percent in the past year.
Overall export prices rose 0.7 percent. Export prices have risen 4.5 percent in the past 12 months.
Agricultural export prices fell 1.3 percent last month, the fourth decline in five months. Agricultural export prices have fallen 1.3 percent in the past 12 months.

ECONOMIC REPORT: Jobless claims rise 2,000; Jobless claims 4-week average at lowest level since July
By Corbett B. Daly, CBS MarketWatch
Last Update: 8:47 AM ET Nov. 10, 2004
WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - The number of people filing for state unemployment insurance for the first time rose 2,000 to 333,000 last week, the Labor Department said Wednesday.
The level of claims was slightly lower than expected. Economists were expecting about 337,000 new claims, according to a survey conducted by CBS MarketWatch.
The four-week moving average of new claims fell by 5,500 to 336,000 in the week ending Nov. 6. This is the lowest level since the week ended July 3.
Economists put more weight on the four-week average as a guide to the strength of the labor market because it smoothes out one-time distortions, including hurricanes.
The insured unemployment rate remained steady at 2.2 percent.
The number of former workers continuing to receive state unemployment benefits rose by 19,000 to 2.81 million in the week ending Oct. 30. The four-week average of continuing claims rose 1,750 to 2.8 million.
The report follows last week's estimate that the economy added 332,000 jobs in October and comes just hours before Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan and his colleagues on the policymaking Federal Open Market Committee are expected to raise interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point to 2 percent.
