In July, Canada's merchandise imports decreased 1.7%, while exports fell 0.4%. Consequently, Canada's merchandise trade balance with the world moved from a revised deficit of $179 million in June to a surplus of $684 million in July. These recent narrow trade balances are within the typical bounds for monthly revisions to imports and exports.
