An early look at U.S. trade patterns in March shows a 1.4% widening in the nation’s trade deficit. The trade gap in goods—services are excluded—widened to $64.8 billion in March from $63.9 billion in February, the government said Thursday in its advanced report. This widening of the deficit only partially reversed a sharp narrowing in February. The goods deficit totaled $68.6 billion in January.
