In today's edition of Top Business News brought to you by Quixtar's Brad Duncan I'm putting the spotlight on the U.S. trade deficit that declined to a four-month low, even though imports from China hit an all-time high. Demands for Chinese goods has remained strong despite recalls of unsafe products this year.

"The trade deficit dropped to $58.1 billion in June, a 1.7 percent decline from May level, the Commerce Department reported."

"It was a bigger improvement than had been expected and left the deficit at its lowest level since February. So far this year, the deficit is running at an annual rate of $705.5 billion, 7 percent lower than last year's record deficit of $758.5 billion."
