O Brasil abriu o mês de junho com alta de 161,6% no superávit da balança comercial, que chegou a US$ 2,43 bilhões na primeira semana do mês.

Falamos de um resultado impulsionado pelo aumento de 94,1% nas exportações, que atingiram US$ 4,85 bilhões, enquanto as importações subiram 54,5% e totalizaram US$ 2,42 bilhões.

Thus, the trade flow (sum of exports and imports) reached US$7.27 billion, up 78.81 per day on average, compared to June 2020.

A trade surplus is recorded when exports exceed imports. If the opposite occurs, a trade deficit is recorded.

With the increase at the beginning of this month, the country expanded its accumulated surplus for the year to US$29.55 billion through the first week of June – a growth of 55.31%, based on the daily average, compared to the period from January to June 2020.

This outcome reflects exports totaling US$113.49 billion, an increase of US$321, and imports totaling US$83.94 billion, an increase of US$25.41. The data was released on June 7, 2021, by the Foreign Trade Secretariat (Secex) of the Ministry of Economy.

Among other factors, the numbers are related to strong global demand for basic products, as well as the soaring dollar in Brazil, which makes Brazilian exports more profitable.
