Goods shipments weakened as crude oil and fuel oil exports dropped, while services exports rose on gains in financial services and travel.
US exports fell to a four-month low of $314.7 billion in June 2026, down $2.9 billion, or 0.9%, from May, as weaker goods shipments outweighed a modest rise in services. Goods exports declined by $4 billion to $206.9 billion, with Census-basis exports down $3.8 billion. The sharpest pressure came from industrial supplies and materials, which fell by $3.3 billion, driven largely by a $5.7 billion drop in crude oil exports and a $1.6 billion decline in fuel oil shipments. Part of that weakness was offset by a $3.4 billion increase in nonmonetary gold exports. Other goods exports decreased by $0.8 billion, and capital goods slipped by $0.6 billion, led by a $1.1 billion fall in computer exports. Services exports provided some support, rising by $1.1 billion to $107.8 billion on higher financial services and travel-related exports.
