FX.co ★ U.S. Exports Slip in December, Breaking November’s Momentum

United States exports edged lower in December 2025, interrupting the previous month’s gains as the value of outbound shipments declined to 287.30 billion dollars. According to the latest data, updated on 19 February 2026, this marks a pullback from November 2025, when exports had reached 292.10 billion dollars.

The December reading underscores a modest softening in external demand or pricing compared with November’s performance. While the decline narrows the recent strength seen in U.S. export activity, the figures will be closely watched for signs of whether this is a temporary pause or the start of a broader cooling in trade flows.
