FX.co ★ US Exports Reach All-Time High Fueled by Gold

In February 2026, US exports rose 4.2% (or $12.6 billion) to a record $314.8 billion. The increase was largely driven by an $11.5 billion jump in goods exports, led by nonmonetary gold (up $8.0 billion) and natural gas (up $1.3 billion). Services exports also advanced by $1.1 billion, supported by stronger receipts from travel, business services, financial services, and charges for the use of intellectual property.
