| The trade deficit in the U.S. narrowed in May as falling crude oil prices and weakening demand for consumer goods trimmed the import bill. The gap shrank 3.8 percent to $48.7 billion, in line with estimates, from $50.6 billion in April, according to the Commerce Department. Purchases from abroad fell to the lowest level in three months, while exports climbed to the second- highest on record. | |||||||
