The US economy probably expanded slightly in the fourth quarter, according to data yesterday that suggested a drop in gross domestic product reported by the government last week was overstated.
The trade deficit narrowed to its lowest point in nearly three years in December after a drop in oil imports and a surge in exports.
The trade gap narrowed to US$38.5 billion during the month, commerce department data showed yesterday.
A separate report from the commerce department showed wholesale inventories unexpectedly declined in December.
