The Trade Deficit decreased to $40.4 billion in November from a $56.7billion deficit in October.  This was the largest contraction in 12 years and the lowest level since 2003.  November exports were $142.8 billion, $8.7 billion, less than October exports, and imports of $183.2.9 billion, $25 billion less than October imports.  This reduction was fueled by lower gas prices and a decrease in Chinese imports.  Advance 4th quarter GDP estimates are scheduled for release by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on January 30th, 2009 at 8:30 AM EST.
