This statistic is used to define the difference between exports and imports of goods and services. A country is in a trade surplus if exports exceed imports. A too large trade deficit may reflect a complicated economic activity and slower consumption. An increase in exports leads to a generally stronger dollar and higher U.S. stock markets.
