How it is measured
US exports of goods and services, from the BEA's national accounts, quarterly at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, in billions of dollars. Services, software, finance, travel, education, are a large and growing share alongside the visible goods trade. The data reaches us through FRED, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis's data service, and originates with the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
What the curve shows
Exports run at $3.51 trillion annualized as of January 2026, from $18.39 billion at the window's start. Read against imports, the gap is the trade balance; on its own, this line measures what the world buys from America.
