US trade deficit narrows to $73.1 billion as exports pick up

The US trade deficit narrowed in June for the first time in three months as the value of exports of goods and services increased by the most since earlier this year.

The gap in goods and services trade shrank 2.5% from the prior month to $73.1 billion, Commerce Department data showed Tuesday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a $72.5 billion shortfall.
