WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The highest oil prices in a decade helped drive the U.S. trade deficit up a surprisingly steep 15 percent during September to a record $34.26 billion... up from $29.81 billion ... exceeded forecasts for a $30.85 billion September deficit. The price rise pushed the total cost of imported petroleum products up to $10.27 billion from $10.24 billion It seems to be popular to blame the increase in deficit on the oil price, but only $0.03 billion out of $4.45 billion was due to increase in imported petroleum products.
