A large trade deficit is ultimately bearish for the US dollar. The trade deficit grew due to imports rising by 2.1% whereas the exports rose only by 0.6%. It makes sense that imports grow when the relative strength of the US dollar has remained high against most currencies as seen on the DXY. If the DXY were to drop to $90 or below, exports of American goods would become more attractive.<\/p><p>The Canadian trade balance is much larger for June than market analysts had predicted.
