WASHINGTON
Jordan 11 For Sale , April 3 (Xinhua) -- U.S. trade deficit expanded to five-month high in February due to higher-than expected exports, the Commerce Department said on Thursday.
The deficit of goods and services increased to 42.3 billion U.S. dollars in February, up 7.7 percent from the revised 39.3 billion dollars in January.
Exports decreased 1.1 percent to 190.4 billion dollars in February, while imports rose 0.1 percent to 232.7 billion dollars.
The goods deficit increased to 61.7 billion dollars

Falling exports were dragged by commercial airplanes and computers, while imports were driven by automobiles.
The U.S. economy grew 2.6 percent in the last quarter of 2013, of which 0.99 percentage point was contributed by smaller trade deficit. Analysts expected the widening deficit would take a toll on the first quarter gross domestic product.
The U.S. goods deficit with China decreased from 27.8 billion dollars to 20.9 billion dollars.
WASHINGTON, April 17 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker on Thursday underlined the importance for the United States to expand trade presence in the Asia-Pacific region and announced a slew of moves to this end and critical to boost the country's exports and employment.
While delivering a speech in John Hopkin's University in Washington
Jordan 11 Win Like 82 For Sale , D.C, Pritzker said increasing overseas presence is a critical way for U.S. businesses seeking to grow in foreign markets, urging them to look beyond the domestic market and seize opportunities in fast-growing markets in Asia.
"Asia-Pacific has become an enormous permanent market for American products and supports more than 3 million U.S.jobs," she said

She disclosed that two new commercial service offices will be opened in Myanmar and in Wuhan, a city in central China. Additional staff will be added to 10 other Asian postings. She will also travel to Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam in June, accompanied by an entourage of business executives.
The top American trade official believed the moves would allow them to provide U.S. businesses with greater support as well as to attract more inbound investment.
As a major part of Obama's rebalance to Asia strategy
air jordan 11 chicago mens shoes for sale , the United States have been actively engaged in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade talks between 12 Asia Pacific countries.
U.S. officials had hoped to complete the talks by the end of last year, but negotiators failed to reach a deal. Negotiations stalled again in February due to disagreements between the United States and Japan.
Asia contributes 60 percent to global gross domestic product, and is home to some of the world's fastest growing economies and half the world's population, said Pritzker.
Asia-Pacific countries imported 4 trillion U.S. dollars worth of goods in 2012 and the number is expected to increase to 10 trillion U.S. dollars by 2022

Depositors at some of the largest U.S. banks are finally going to get the chance to do something quick and simple: send money to another person's account instantaneously by mobile phone.
The idea has been in the works for at least five years, and in the meantime, Silicon Valley has made incursions into the industry's role as a payment intermediary. But now, big banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co
air jordan 11 chicago mens for sale , Bank of America Corp, Wells Fargo & Co and U.S. Bancorp are starting to plug into a system they jointly own, called clearXchange, that will allow each others' customers to transfer money in a flash when they split a dinner check

"What we are doing now is delivering payments in real time, which is what our customers have asked for," Mary Harman, managing director for payments at Bank of America

While technology companies like PayPal Holdings and Facebook Inc already offer snazzy payment apps that appeal to young consumers, the banking industry has a crucial advantage because it controls how quickly money actually moves between bank accounts. Individuals transferred some $200 billion to one another using mobile phones and computers last year, according to Javelin Strategy & Research.
Bank executives and analysts who closely track payment systems say that if clearXchange is fast, functional and user-friendly

Bank of America plans to announce on Wednesday that its customers can transfer funds instantly through clearXchange with customers of U.S. Bancorp, which said last week that it was plugged in.
