BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's exports in January rose for a second straight month, climbing 0.35% from a year earlier, the commerce ministry said on Tuesday, missing analyst forecasts.

 

The reading compares with a rise of 1.85% forecast in a Reuters poll and a 4.71% increase in December.

0.35% ? What caused this dramatic rise year on year ? An extra box of noodles ?

As I have posted before. There is not going to be any rise.
