U.S. Imports 'Treading Water'

摘要

The number of international manufacturers shipping to the U.S. market slipped 1% in June compared to May, slightly less than the 2% decline seen from May to June 2008, according to tracking firm Panjiva.rn"Thus, it seems that global trade now appears to be tracking its typical seasonal path, albeit at a lower absolute level of activity. Feels a bit like the global economy is treading water," the company reported.
