2026.04.2912:30:00UTC+00U.S. Goods Trade Deficit Widens in March to $87.87 Billion

The U.S. goods trade deficit expanded in March 2026, with the shortfall increasing to $87.87 billion from $83.50 billion in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 29 April 2026, underscore a further deterioration in the U.S. goods trade balance over the month.

The March figure marks a notable widening of the gap between imports and exports of goods compared with the previous month’s reading. While detailed component data are not provided, the increase in the deficit indicates that the value of imported goods continued to outpace that of U.S. goods exports as the first quarter drew to a close. Policymakers and market participants are likely to watch upcoming releases closely for signs of whether this trend moderates or persists in the months ahead.
