US trade deficit widens
The US trade deficit widened to $62.3bn (€39bn, £31.3bn) in February, as a jump in imports offset the latest strong showing by exporters, James Politi reports from Washington.

The figures ran contrary to economists’ expectations of a narrowing of the trade deficit from $59bn to $57.5bn, as the weak dollar drove exports and a slowing domestic economy had an impact on demand for imports.
