United States Exports
Despite the fact that the United States is the world's third-largest exporter, exports account for only 13% of GDP. Capital goods (22% of total exports) and industrial supplies are the primary exports (22%). Among the others are consumer goods (8%), and petroleum (7%). Petroleum exports reached a record high of USD 172.4 billion in 2018. Canada (18% of total exports), Mexico (16%), China (7%) Japan (4.5%) the United Kingdom (4%), and Germany (3.5%) were the most important export partners in 2018.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD.
