1 Contacts Felix Boni Chief Credit Officer Jordy Juvera Economics Associate Cynthia Pérez Economics Analyst HR Ratings comments on the reduction in the trade deficit for the quarter ending in April vs. January which was modest compared to the increases vs. the same period in 2017 and longer-term trends. The April US international trade report shows that the quarterly deficit through that month, in nominal terms, decreased at an annualized rate of 11.9% (please see Table 1) vs. the deficit for the three months ending in January. Nevertheless, the deficit remains substantially larger than that reported for the October quarter and larger than the deficit for the same period in As recent developments have shown the decline in the deficit is not likely to reduce the complaints of the Trump administration against its leading trade partners. The longer term structural increase in the deficit is likely to continue as consumer goods spending recovers from it post 4Q17 slump. The decline in the April quarter deficit was largely the result of a 9.59% annualized reduction in the deficit in non-petroleum goods. This, in turn, was probably due to temporary weakness in US demand (following the surge in the fourth quarter) which should strengthen again in future months 1. For its part, the nominal dollar deficit in petroleum goods increased at a substantial 26.1% annualized rate largely as a result of changes in relative prices. This distinction is important as in real dollar terms the deficit declined 27.4% (please see Tables 3 and 4). Finally, the nominal services surplus increased at an annualized rate of 3.84%. However, in the long-term the growth in the services sector is not likely to offset the structural increases in the non-petroleum goods deficit.

Data are seasonally adjusted in millions on a three month moving average basis. The data in Table 2 probably provide a more accurate description of the longer-term structural situation of the trade deficit. The major driver of the deficit is the imbalance on non-petroleum goods which increased 11.77% in the April quarter vs. the same period in This explains the bulk of the 11.03% rise in the overall trade imbalance. In contrast, the United States has a structural surplus in services which for the quarter increased at a much more modest rate of 2.39%. However, because of its smaller absolute size and slower rate of growth it is becoming increasing less relevant. 1 See our Personal income and savings April 2018 report at: Hoja 1 de 8
2 In contrast, the relevance for the overall shortfall of the decline in the petroleum goods deficit is probably greater given its larger size and its sharp rates of decline. Over the last year the petroleum deficit declined by more than 17% in nominal dollar terms. Table 2: Nominal Trade Balance - Annual Quarterly and LTM evolution Quarterly Data LTM Data YoY Change Apr-17 Apr-18 Apr-17 Apr-18 Quarter LTM Total Balance -134, , , , % 10.29% Goods Balance -197, , , , % 7.66% Petroleum -19,885-16,333-69,474-57, % % Non-Petroleum -174, , , , % 10.79% Net Adjustment -3,144-2,434-13,786-10, % % Services 63,792 65, , , % 2.22% Source: HR Ratings with data from the US Census Bureau, parts of which retrieved from FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Data are in millions of nominal USD on a seasonally adjusted basis. In Table 3 we present the trade data in real 2012 dollar terms. The nominal data are perhaps more relevant in terms of the impact on the value of the dollar in international currency markets. However, in terms of the impact on GDP, real dollars are probably more appropriate as a focus of analysis. For the quarter ending in October, the goods deficit in real terms decreased at an annualized rate of 12.53% vs. the January quarter although it is still 6% larger than the October quarter, also at an annualized rate. In real terms the evolution of the petroleum balance is especially positive as it continued to decline in the October quarter with exports rising and imports falling. Table 3: Real Dollars - Trade in Goods Evolution Quarterly Data Annualized Change Oct-17 Jan-18 Apr-18 vs. Oct. vs. Jan.

3 In the case of non-petroleum goods, the deficit declined by a substantial 11.57% on an annualized real dollar basis. The major change in the quarter was the significant decline in the rate of growth of imports showing a relatively small 2.23% increase, much lower than the 9.91% annualized increase vs. the October quarter and the especially large 18.2% annualized real increase in the January quarter vs. the October quarter (not shown in tables). Thus, our initial interpretation of the result is that the April non-petroleum goods numbers reflect a pause from the extraordinarily large increase in the January quarter with the likelihood that stronger growth in imports is likely to resume over the next few months along with goods consumer spending.

One observation is the small size of the services surplus and its relative lack of movement over the few years. A second is the sharp increase in the goods balance (as reflected in the comments relative to Graph 1 above). A third observation is that the goods deficit currently is roughly at the same level it had reached prior to the financial crisis of Graph 2: Trade balance on goods and services in billions of nominal USD (3MMA) Total Goods Services Source: HR Ratings w ith data from the U.S. Census Bureau, including data retrieved from FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
