Despite the trade deficit growing wider, exports actually rose by 1.1% m/m for the month of March but that is outweighed by imports which rose by 3.6% m/m. Nonetheless, the trade deficit is still seen at average levels over the past three years so there isn't much to really glean from the release here.
