Switzerland reported a CHF2.07 bln trade surplus in December. Although this was somewhat less than expected, the trade surplus for the year was about CHF24 bln which is almost 20% larger than 2010. Of note, half the export growth appears to be accounted for by German demand. Also luxury watch exports to Asia were up strongly.

Dollar Surrenders Yesterday's Gains
