• The euro zone swung to a large trade deficit in September from a small surplus a year earlier due to a surge in the costs of imported energy in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but the deficit was smaller than expected, data showed on Tuesday.
• The European Union’s statistics office Eurostat said the seasonally unadjusted trade deficit of the 19 countries sharing the euro with the rest of the world was 34.4 billion euros ($35.7 billion) in September, against a 6.7 billion surplus 12 months earlier.
