Starting this month, with the release of the June 2011 trade data, the U.S. Census Bureau introduced the Foreign Trade Graph of the Month. Each month will feature a new graph highlighting interesting data points or series about U.S. exports and imports.
This month’s graph highlights the price per barrel of crude oil imports, including a 43% increase in price since January 2010, and 8 straight months of increases before June’s decrease of $2.70.
Also, be sure to check out our monthly summary and time series graphs , featuring trade breakdowns by end-use commodities , top trading partners, and petroleum imports.
Hover over any data point on any graph to see the value; many graphs feature interactive legends or click-throughs to more data, and can be downloaded as an image or PDF file. Explore and have fun!
