Thanks. Checked metalprices.com and the INO copper charts and indeed there was a significant drop in the price of copper. Other metals seem to have held or continued going up.

quotes.ino.com

I really had not been aware that price changes in metals could have such a big impact on the trade gap. That is something I will keep in mind in the future. In the past my attention was mainly on energy,

As the dollar drops it will be interesting to see if higher commodity prices , (in dollar terms), offset reduced demand leaving the trade gap more or less unchanged?
