The Swiss trade surplus jumped in January to its highest since February last year, as exports were up by 16.3% on the month while imports were seen up by just 5.9% on the month. As a trend, it isn't indicative of much though but perhaps points to some seasonality as there have been notable widening of the surplus in the early months of the year in the past.
