U.S. exports sank to the lowest in more than a decade while imports dropped as the coronavirus continued to curtail demand for goods and upset producers’ supply chains. Goods exports plummeted 5.8% in May from the prior month to $90.1 billion, the lowest since August 2009, according to Commerce Department data released Thursday. Imports decreased 1.2% to $164.4 billion.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been expecting 1.35 million claims. (CNBC) Sumber: Danareksa Sekuritas Debt Research Photo by Nikola Stojanovic on Unsplash
