The question is not ordsprog

The question is not whether the U.S. current account deficit will fall in the future but whether the inevitable adjustment is likely to be painful and disruptive of U.S. economic growth and stability -- a hard landing.

Economic growth is slowing, and exporters are already suffering. It is a certainty that fourth-quarter net exports will subtract substantially from GDP growth while the current account deficit will widen further.

We need to see imports soften off if we are ever going to solve the current account deficit problem. That's why we've seen the currency respond to the wider deficit. It's worrying that the current account deficit will stay large.

The current account deficit shows that the dollar/won exchange-rate fall has meant deteriorating company profits, while savings have declined. The consumption recovery may soon be constrained by weak income growth.

We haven't seen much improvement in export volumes and that suggests net exports will detract from economic growth yet again. The current account deficit also will stay wide, reflecting increased profits for foreign investors and higher debt-servicing costs for Australian companies.

The only thing that the Fed can do to correct the current- account imbalance is to slow the U.S. economy. If you are adding up reasons for why the Fed will keep on tightening, the current-account deficit is on that list.

The main story is foreign investors are more than willing to finance the U.S. current-account deficit. The stability, indeed the strength, of the U.S. dollar in 2005 encouraged investors back into the U.S.

If there is an 'issue' with the US external accounts, it is not the bilateral trade deficit with China but rather the overall deficit that the US incurs. After all, the large current account deficit means that the US spends more than it produces, which requires financing from abroad.

The surprise is that the current account deficit narrowed for a third consecutive quarter. It's still a big deficit relative to GDP.

The current-account deficit is a risk for the dollar. It's difficult to justify buying the dollar until we get some more favorable economic data.

[T]he currency depreciation that we have experienced of late should eventually help to contain our current account deficit as foreign producers export less to the United States. On the other side of the ledger, the current account should improve as U.S. firms find the export market more receptive.

Investors will once again take this risk into account. The only thing we know about the current account deficit is that it can't go on forever.

The Committee continues to believe that, against the background of its long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth and of the information currently available, the risks are weighted mainly toward conditions that may generate economic weakness in the foreseeable future,

In absolute terms, the deficit is high. However, this will contribute significantly to the country's gross domestic product. As economic activity gets a boost, the deficit will indirectly spur further economic growth.

After the dollar got hit most of last week following the record U.S. current account deficit, coupled with violence in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, players are now looking to partially unwind their dollar shorts and await tomorrow's ZEW (economic sentiment) survey out of Germany.
