BBC: The US trade deficit has narrowed to its lowest level in more than two years, driven by record exports boosted by the weaker dollar.
The difference between what the US exports and imports shrank to $56.5bn (£27bn) in September, down 0.6% from August's revised $56.8bn.
Exports of goods and services rose 1.1% in September to a record $140.1bn, said the Commerce Department.
