schema:articleBody	The US trade deficit continued to widen in August, as imports outpaced exports amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, according to official data released Tuesday. The deficit rose 5.9 percent from July to $67.1 billion, increasing more than expected but posting a more moderate jump than the nearly 19 percent surge in the month prior, according to the Commerce Department report. However, the August trade gap was the widest since 2008 and the third-largest on record, James Watson of Oxford Economics said. Exports gained $3.6 billion from July to $171.9 billion overall, not enough to offset the $7.4 billion climb in imports to $239 billion. The growth in the deficit came from a slight decrease in the services surplus to $16.8 billion, while the goods deficit climbed $3.0 billion to $83.9 billion. The Commerce Department warned, "Exports and imports in August reflect both the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued recovery from the sharp declines earlier this year." Those disruptions were brought on by business shutdowns and border closures to stop the virus's spread, measures that have eased somewhat in the United States and elsewhere. "Exports and imports are continuing to recover from low levels, though imports have made a stronger rebound," Rubeela Farooqi of High Frequency Economics said. "Overall, trade flows remain subdued and the outlook is uncertain given a muted global growth and demand backdrop." Exports remain 17.6 percent below the same period in 2019, and imports are down 13.1 percent, the report said. Industrial supplies and materials were among the most-exported products, according to the data, increasing $3.9 billion. Services exports saw only scant gains led by other business services, while travel decreased. Consumer goods made up more than half of the increase in imports, with pharmaceutical preparations increasing $2.7 billion The data showed the US deficit with Germany and Japan increasing by $1.6 billion and $1 billion, respectively. However the deficit with China, which signed a partial truce with Washington in January to end months of trade conflict, decreased by $1.9 billion, as exports climbed $1.7 billion and imports fell slightly. cs/hs
