BREAKING: The US Treasury budget surplus fell -$43 billion YoY in April, or -17%, to $215 billion. April typically produces a budget surplus, as the mid-month tax filing deadline brings in a large wave of receipts from individuals and businesses. This comes as receipts fell -$13 billion YoY, to $837 billion. At the same time, outlays rose +$31 billion YoY, to $622 billion, led by higher interest costs and military spending. Gross interest jumped +$10 billion YoY, to $112 billion, the highest monthly reading on record, while military spending jumped +$6 billion YoY, to $73 billion. Despite April’s surplus, the US government has recorded a deficit of $954 billion over the first 7 months of FY2026, the 3rd-highest in history. Deficit spending is extremely high.

China’s economy is built on an extraordinary savings surplus: China’s gross national savings rate stands at ~43% of GDP, the highest among the world’s largest economic blocs. This is more than double the US' rate of ~18%. China’s savings rate has remained above 40% for nearly the entire century while the US has not exceeded 20% over the same period. Meanwhile, Japan’s savings rate is ~32% of GDP, while the Eurozone’s is ~24%, both well below China. A high savings rate provides a larger pool of domestic capital that can be used to finance investment, expand manufacturing capacity, and strengthen its industrial base. China’s savings surplus is a powerful source of investment capacity.

Sky Protocol generated $46.04M in Net Protocol Surplus in Q1 2026 alone, reaching 92.4% of the entire 2025 surplus in a single quarter. Gross Protocol Revenue came in at $123.79M, the highest in protocol history, up 56.8% QoQ. One quarter produced what took a full year to build in 2025.

🚨 NEW TRADE DATA 🚨 The previous administration turned an agricultural trade surplus into a nearly $50 BILLION deficit. Now, under @POTUS, we are REVERSING course. Over the past 18 months, the agricultural trade deficit has been slashed by 42%. The year-to-date reduction reached 61% and, with the latest data, now stands at 54%. American agriculture is also setting export records: 🥜 Tree nuts UP 20%
 🐄 Dairy UP 13%
 ⛽ Ethanol UP 18%
 🌽 Corn UP 14% this year (and 35% over 18 months!) American farmers win when they compete on a fair and reciprocal playing field. President Trump is unlocking the market access they need and helping turn that access into market share. Real progress. More work ahead.
