São Paulo – Brazil saw a USD 621 million trade surplus in the second week of January, after registering a USD 150 million deficit in the first week. The surplus stemmed from USD 3.145 billion in exports and USD 2.524 billion in imports, the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade reported this Monday (18).<\/p>\n

Month-to-date, exports fetched USD 6.067 billion, with imports at USD 5.596 billion, resulting in a USD 471 million surplus. <\/p>\n

In the first two weeks of January, exports averaged USD 606.7 billion a day, down 7% from a year ago. Finished goods exports dropped 15.8% due to weaker sales of refined sugar, aircraft, auto parts and motors, pharmaceuticals, hydrocarbons, pumps, compressors and their parts, and ethanol. <\/p>\n

Semi-finished goods exports dropped 11.3%, driven by nickel cathodes, cast iron, semi-finished iron and steel products, raw soya oil, raw sugar, copper cathodes and leather. <\/p>\n

Conversely, basic goods exports climbed 2.9%, driven by soybean, maize, raw sugar, soya bran and crude oil.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, imports in the first two weeks of January averaged USD 559.6 million a day, down 30.4% from a year ago, highlighting fuels and lubricants, steel and iron products, autos and auto parts, electrical and electronic equipment, rubber, fertilizers and plastics. <\/p>\n
