U.S. Q2 CURRENT DEFICIT 3.0% OF GDP VS 2.7% (Q1 INITIALLY REPORTED AS 2.9%) - TradingView

Why now

Thesis: Growing external deficit is a slow-burn headwind

Catalyst to watch: Trade data and dollar reaction

Main risk: Deficit concerns may be shrugged off by markets

Why it matters

Widening current-account deficit to 3.0% of GDP signals external imbalance, a mild dollar and funding headwind.
