World Trade Monitor up 0.5% m/m in April: CPB

The World Trade Monitor, an indicator showing the dynamics of international trade volume, rose 0.5 percent in April from March, the Dutch Bureau of Economic Policy Analysis (CPB) reported.

The index is adjusted for, among other things, changes in commodity prices, which can distort trend findings in the data.

The World Trade Monitor dropped also 0.9 percent in March on a revised basis.

The index is compiled on behalf of the European Commission.
