I was looking at the latest U.S. agricultural trade data today.
The numbers show the U.S. is still importing more farm goods than it’s exporting, and forecasts suggest this could continue into 2026. It’s not something most people talk about, but it matters more than it looks.
Trade numbers like this influence the strength of the U.S. dollar, and the dollar plays a big role in how risk assets behave. When the dollar stays strong, crypto usually moves more carefully.
This alone isn’t a signal to act. But if exports start picking up or the trade gap begins to narrow, it could change how BTC and altcoins are priced over time.
For now, I’m just keeping it in mind as part of the bigger picture.
