The U.S. posted its widest monthly goods trade deficit on record in March, as companies rushed to import foreign goods ahead of sweeping tariffs set by President Donald Trump on what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">he dubbed as &#8220;Liberation Day.&#8221;</a>
The U.S. goods trade deficit widened to $161.9 billion in March 2025, up from $147.8 billion in February and smashing past Wall Street's $145 billion estimate, according to Commerce Department data released Tuesday.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Imports Surge Before Tariffs Kick In</h3>
U.S. businesses scrambled to stockpile everything from machinery to consumer electronics before the tariffs took effect.
Imports skyrocketed to $342.7 billion, up 5% month-on-month, but more strikingly, they were up 30.8% compared to March 2024—highlighting the urgency with which U.S. companies accelerated purchases of overseas goods.
Consumer goods led the surge, jumping 27.5% on the month and a staggering 55.5% over the year, to reach $102.8 billion. Imports of industrial supplies such as metals and chemicals climbed 13.5% month-on-month and 37.8% year-on-year, totaling $74.6 billion. Capital goods—machinery and equipment used for production—rose 3.8% to $92.8 billion, a 22.2% increase from a year ago. Automotive imports gained 6.6% to $41 billion.
 "The goods trade deficit continued to blow out in March,&#8221; wrote Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab &amp; Co., on social media X.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Exports Rise, But Can't Keep Up</h3>
On the export side, the numbers improved, but not nearly enough to offset the import wave.
Total exports rose 1.2% from February and 6.8% year-over-year, reaching $180.8 billion. That modest gain was led by automotive vehicles, up 7.9% from February, industrial supplies, up 3%, and foods, feeds and beverages, up 6.9%.
However, consumer goods exports fell slightly by 1.1% to $21.8 billion, signaling that overseas demand may not be as robust as the domestic race to import.
Overall, the imbalance between export and import growth underscores how skewed the U.S. trade flow became in anticipation of tariffs. While export growth was steady, it paled in comparison to the aggressive import buildup.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Historical Context: Largest Goods Deficit Ever</h3>
The March 2025 trade balance dwarfed last year's levels. The $161.9 billion shortfall compares to a $92.8 billion deficit in March 2024, a 74.6% year-over-year increase. 
That margin highlights the extent to which policy uncertainty can shake up international commerce and distort monthly trade flows.
This is the largest U.S. goods trade deficit ever recorded, surpassing pandemic-era levels when global supply chains were disrupted but demand remained elevated.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street Reaction Muted</h3>
Markets reacted little to trade data as the front-loading frenzy was widely anticipated by analysts following Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement.
Corporate earnings guidance and the latest business survey throughout had already signaled the rush to import ahead of tariffs.
The S&amp;P 500 Index – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – opened 0.4% lower at 5,510 points.

The Liberal Party has won Canada's prime minister election with former central banker Mark Carney keeping his top position, which he was placed in after outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42823979/canadas-pm-justin-trudeau-steps-down-amid-internal-conflict-and-tension-over-trump-tariffs"> stepped down in January.</a>
"Who's ready to stand up for Canada with me," Carney said in a speech after winning the election, as <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/canada-election-results-prime-minister-carney-poilievre-rcna203321">reported </a>by NBC News.
Carney also singled out American president Donald Trump in his speech, as Trump has repeated the call for Canada to become the 51st U.S. state.
"President Trump is trying to break us, so that America can own us. That will never, that will never, ever happen."
Carney has had a fast rise in Canadian politics but also enters the key leadership role without ever holding office.
Here are five facts about Carney.
1.&nbsp;Never Held Office:&nbsp;Carney becomes the Liberal Party&#8217;s leader and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44212152/mark-carney-takes-justin-trudeaus-job-as-canadas-new-pm-ready-to-face-trumps-tariff-threats-i-know-how-to-manage-crises" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">next Canadian prime minister&nbsp;</a>without holding public office before. The former central banker enters the key leadership role with vast experience in finance, a position that may have helped him win the election.
In his original prime minister acceptance speech, Carney focused heavily on U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump, tariffs and a potential trade war between the two North American countries.
&#8220;My government will keep the tariffs on until the Americans show respect,&#8221; Carney previously said. &#8220;In the meantime, we will make sure all the proceeds — all the proceeds from our tariffs — will be used to protect our workers.&#8221; &nbsp;
While the U.S. has paused tariffs on Canada, several retaliatory tariffs put into place by Canada are currently in effect.
Carney also publicly criticized Trump&#8217;s call to annex Canada and make the border country a state.
&#8220;Canada will never ever be part of America, in any way, shape, or form.&#8221;
Carney has also previously&nbsp;<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/08/world-news/mark-carney-frontrunner-to-replace-trudeau-as-canadas-pm/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">compared&nbsp;</a>Trump to Harry Potter villain Voldemort.
&#8220;When you think about what&#8217;s at stake in these ridiculous, insulting comments of the president, of what we could be, I view this as the sort of Voldemort of comments,&#8221; Carney said.
Before entering politics, Carney&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/3/10/carney-canada-prime-minister/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was&nbsp;</a>the governor of the Bank of Canada (2008 to 2013) and the Bank of England (2013-2020). During his time leading monetary policy, Carney was praised for his handling of the 2008 financial crisis, the U.K.&#8217;s exit from the European Union and the country&#8217;s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Carney was famously the first non-British person to be governor of the Bank of England.
Along with his roles leading the national banks, Carney also spent 13 years at&nbsp;Goldman Sachs&nbsp;Group Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>).

2.&nbsp;College Goalie: Carney becomes the first graduate of Harvard College to become the Prime Minister of Canada with two others in the role having received past master&#8217;s degrees from the prestigious American university.
While at Harvard from 1984 to 1988, Carney was a member of the university&#8217;s hockey team where he was a goalie.
&#8220;He was the best backup goalie Harvard ever had,&#8221; fellow Harvard student and Silver Lake co-founder Glenn Hutchins once said of Carney.
Carney also played goalie while at Oxford working on his doctorate, where he was a co-captain of the hockey team.
3.&nbsp;Bitcoin Stance:&nbsp;Fans of cryptocurrency and&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)&nbsp;in Canada may not want to hear about Carney&#8217;s past comments on the sector.
While Trump has ushered in a new cryptocurrency era in the U.S. with a pro-crypto agenda and plans for a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin strategic reserve,</a>&nbsp;Carney might have to make a similar reversal of course to please Bitcoin fans.
Carney previously criticized Bitcoin for having &#8220;serious deficiencies&#8221; and said having a Bitcoin standard &#8220;would be a criminal act of monetary amnesia,&#8221; as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/canadas-new-prime-minister-mark-carney-bitcoin-critic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CoinTelegraph</a>.
The Canadian&#8217;s criticism of Bitcoin dates back to at least 2018 according to the report.
&#8220;The fixed supply of Bitcoin has fed a global speculative mania that has encouraged a proliferation of new cryptocurrencies,&#8221; Carney previously said.
Carney has spoken positively of CBDCs previously and said Bitcoin has proven to be &#8220;poor short-term stores of value.&#8221;
4. Board of Directors Roles:&nbsp;Along with roles at Goldman Sachs and the national banks getting Carney ready for his role as prime minister, the well-known banker also served on several notable boards.
With his push into politics, Carney has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pionline.com/money-management/bank-canadas-mark-carney-resigns-asset-manager-boards-brookfield-pimco-he-enters" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stepped&nbsp;</a>down from many of his board roles. Carney previously served on the board of directors of&nbsp;Brookfield Asset Management&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAM#NYSE">BAM</a>), a unit of&nbsp;Brookfield Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BN#NYSE">BN</a>).
Carney also resigned from his role on the global advisory board of&nbsp;Pacific Investment Management Co, also known as&nbsp;PIMCO. Carney previously served on the board of directors of Bloomberg L.P. and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44081480/stripes-payment-surge-puts-adyen-paypal-fiserv-on-notice-ai-stablecoins-fuel-the-race" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;fintech unicorn&nbsp;</a>Stripe, which was valued at $91.5 billion last month.
&#8220;I am no longer a senior executive at Brookfield, I am no longer a senior executive at Bloomberg, I am no longer on the board of Stripe, I am no longer on the board of PIMCO,&#8221; Carney said in an announcement ahead of his prime minister run.
Carney said the board roles and his banking experience will serve Canada well.
&#8220;What I&#8217;m bringing from those (experiences) is to help Canada through the immediate crisis, but really to build the strongest economy in the G7.&#8221;<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/08/world-news/mark-carney-frontrunner-to-replace-trudeau-as-canadas-pm/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>
5. Sports Fan/House Divided: A former hockey player, Carney is a <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/9866686/Mark-Carney-is-an-Everton-fan...-but-his-wife-supports-Arsenal.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fan </a>of the sport and the Edmonton Oilers are his favorite NHL team. Carney is also a fan of the Canadian Football League team Edmonton Eskimos.
Carney is also a fan of soccer and roots for Everton in the English Premier League, with distant relatives living in the Liverpool area. Carney&#8217;s wife Diana roots for Arsenal as her favorite soccer team, an Everton rival in the English Premier League. Diana, like Carney, also played hockey in college for the Oxford team.
The Canadian has also used the recent victory by Canada over the U.S. in the 4 Nations hockey tournament as a rallying cry ahead of the April election.
&#8220;Canada will not bow down to a bully. In the trade war — just like in hockey — we will win,&#8221; Carney said.
