Better than expected U.S. trade figures

U.S. exports grew by a better than expected 3.2% in October. Imports also fell due to a slackening demand for industrial and petroleum products.

Figures from the Commerce Department showed that the U.S. trade gap in October was $38.7bn. The September trade gap was revised downwards to $44.6bn.
