The increase came as imports rose during the month, with goods tied to artificial-intelligence construction among the factors cited in the report.<\/p>\n<p>A wider trade gap can weigh on gross domestic product calculations because imports are subtracted from the headline measure. That accounting effect does not by itself establish that household demand or the broader economy is weakening, however; the impact depends on what the imported goods represent and how other parts of the economy perform.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"loaning-news-section-2\">\n<h2 id=\"loaning-news-section-2\">Trade Gap Alters Growth Forecasts<\/h2>\n<p>The August result prompted Goldman Sachs to lower its tracking estimate for third-quarter economic growth to 3.1%. That is a forecast adjustment, not a new official reading of economic output.<\/p>\n<p>For mortgage and homebuying conditions, a trade-driven change matters mainly through its possible effect on the broader growth outlook. If weaker growth later changes expectations for inflation or Federal Reserve policy, borrowing costs could respond, but the trade deficit alone does not determine mortgage rates. The central development remains the sharp August expansion in the nation\u2019s trade gap.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"loaning-editorial-disclosure\">This article is for general information only,
