Trade Deficit Narrows

Thanks to an increase in agricultural and energy exports, the U.S. trade deficit narrowed in October. The Commerce Department said the deficit in October totaled $67 billion, down from a record $81 billion in September. Imports have been put at a disadvantage due to the backlog at U.S. ports.
