February exports were $0.5 billion less than January exports of $77.1 billion. February imports were $2.1 billion more than January imports of $93.9 billion. In February, the goods deficit increased $2.9 billion from January to $26.2 billion, and the services surplus increased $0.3 billion to $6.7 billion. Exports of goods decreased to $54.3 billion from $55.2 billion, and imports of goods increased to $80.5 billion from $78.4 billion. Exports of services increased to $22.3 billion from $21.9 billion and imports of services of $15.5 billion were up slightly.

Note: The three-month moving averages shown in this exhibit are computed by summing the subject month, the two prior months, dividing by three and showing the average at the center month of the period. Using this method, an average is not available for the current month. A centered moving average is useful in smoothing the volatile trade data so that trends can better be discerned.
