U.S. trade deficit smallest in five months

The U.S. trade deficit fell in July to its lowest level in five months as exports rose, signaling underlying strength in the economy amid concerns about a global growth slowdown. The Commerce Department said on Thursday the trade gap narrowed 7.4 percent to $41.9 billion, the smallest since February. June’s trade deficit was revised to $45.2 billion from the previously reported $43.8 billion.
