Weak dollar no quick fix for narrowing trade gap

WASHINGTON — A weaker dollar may boost the nation&#8217;s economy by increasing exports and narrowing the trade gap — but that won&#8217;t happen anytime soon.
Instead, the nation&#8217;s trade deficit rose in September by the largest percentage in a decade as U.S. exports grew for the fifth straight [...]]]></description>
