United States: Trade in Goods and Services - Total Value of Exports (SA)

Macro

2026-09-03

Description

The U.S. Exports of Goods and Services is jointly released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the U.S. Census Bureau. It measures the total value of goods and services exported from the United States to the rest of the world during a specific period.

An increase in the total value of exports typically indicates stronger global demand for U.S. goods and services, which can drive U.S. economic growth and contribute to a trade surplus. Conversely, a decrease in export value may suggest weakening external demand or a global economic slowdown, which could negatively impact the U.S. economy.

This data is released monthly, reflecting the export activity of the United States for the previous month.

In Q3 2026, the latest total US exports of goods and services dropped to 310,723 million USD, a decline from the previous Q2 figure of 314,728 million USD, indicating a trend of weakening external demand. Although exports of capital equipment and pharmaceuticals maintained growth, the decrease in sales of crude oil and nonmonetary gold largely offset these gains. Looking ahead, the widening of the US trade deficit and subsequent changes in tariff policies may exert pressure on short- to medium-term economic growth.
