This number represents the difference between
the value of goods and services that a country
exports and the value that it imports them at.
A surplus occurs if the value of exports is
greater than the value of imports, and a deficit
occurs if the value of imports is greater than
the value of exports.
Trade balance
Common consumer-related indicators include
retail sales, durable goods orders, consumer
confidence, consumer sentiment and ZEW
(economic sentiment), and tend to come out
on a monthly basis.
Higher than expected sales, orders, confidence or sentiment usually result in a stronger
currency, and data releases below expectations cause the currency to weaken.

It is in a country’s interest to export more than
it imports and thereby generate money that it
can use to further its growth. This figure is
usually released on a monthly basis.
