Sri Lanka’s trade deficit widened to $776 million in February 2026, the largest trade deficit in four months and up from $411.3 million in the same month a year earlier, as import growth significantly outpaced the marginal increase in exports. Goods exports rose 0.47% year-on-year to $1,057.8 million, driven by broad-based gains across most product categories. Mining products surged 142.86%, led by higher shipments of earths and stone. Agricultural exports increased 1.53%, particularly rubber, while industrial product exports declined 0.06%. Meanwhile, goods imports rose significantly by 25.24% year-on-year to $1,833.8 million. Consumer goods imports jumped 35.7%, mainly reflecting higher purchases of personal vehicles, which totaled $204.8 million, including both personal and commercial vehicles. Investment goods imports also rose 35%. These increases were partially offset by a decline in imports of intermediate goods of 11.92% in the prior period but rose 18.26% this month.

Brazil Posts Strongest Monthly Job Gains in a Year

US gasoline futures retreated past $3.2 per gallon on Tuesday as a historic 30% monthly surge cooled following a significant diplomatic opening from Tehran. The price retreat was triggered by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressing a readiness to end regional hostilities provided that Western powers offer essential guarantees and reparations. This shift in rhetoric matches recent attempts by President Trump to de-escalate the conflict and potentially restore tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz where roughly 20% of global oil flows have remained disrupted throughout March. While the prospect of restored supply pressured energy benchmarks the modest nature of the decline reflects deep market skepticism fueled by the recent damage to the Al-Salmi tanker and the continued movement of US troops to the Middle East. Despite the daily dip gasoline remains on track for its largest monthly gain on record amid the broader supply shock from the nearly total closure of key corridors.
