US current account deficit rises 15.7% in Q2
The U.S. current account balance recorded a 15.7% increase in its deficit during the second quarter of 2026, reaching $33.4 billion, which represents 3.0% of GDP, up from 2.7% in the first quarter. This rise was driven by an increase in the trade deficit for goods, accompanied by a net international investment position of -$22.42 trillion, along with net financial account transactions amounting to -$369.7 billion. This reflects the United States' dependence on borrowing from abroad.
