The US trade deficit widened in July for the first time in four months as demand for American-made goods slowed on the back of global economic uncertainty.
美国7月份贸易逆差四个月来首次扩大,原因是全球经济前景不明朗,市场对美国制造的商品需求减少。
The gap between imports and exports grew 0.2 per cent to $42bn from a downwardly revised $41.9bn in June, commerce department data showed. The figure came in below economists’ estimates of $44.3bn.
美国商务部的数据显示,美国7月贸易逆差上升0.2%,至420亿美元。6月贸易逆差经下修后为419亿美元。7月逆差数据低于经济学家们预估的443亿美元。
A wider trade deficit acts as a drag on growth because the US typically spends more on imports while taking in less from the sales of American-made goods.
贸易逆差扩大对经济增长形成拖累,因为美国通常进口支出较多,出口收入较少。
Europe’s recession and slowing momentum in emerging economies such as China have pulled back demand for US products. Exports fell 1 per cent to $183.3bn, the biggest decline since April, due to weaker sales of cars, telecommunications equipment and heavy machinery.
欧洲经济低迷以及中国等新兴经济体增长放缓削弱了市场对美国产品的需求。受汽车、电信设备和重型机械等出口减少影响,美国7月份出口额下降1%,至1833亿美元,为今年4月以来最大降幅。
