Trade Deficit / Currency Forecast

Good morning,

As the US economy continues to strengthen, so its trade deficit (balance), reaching its highest level since Dec 08 at -$40.4 billion.

I suspect that, as our economy improves even more and the Euro weakens (pushing the dollar higher, making our exports more expensive) the deficit will grow even more…and speaking of a weak Euro, this is our latest currency forecast, especially useful to my foreign friends :)
Have a good week! Rod
