Wholesale sales increased 1.0% to $61.0 billion in April, a seventh consecutive monthly advance. Gains were recorded in three of seven subsectors, accounting for 41% of total wholesale sales, and were led by the machinery, equipment and supplies subsector.
In volume terms, wholesale sales increased 0.7% from March to April.
The machinery, equipment and supplies subsector recorded the largest gain in dollar terms in April, up 7.3% to $12.4 billion. Higher sales were recorded in three of four industries, with the farm, lawn and garden machinery and equipment, and the other machinery, equipment and supplies industries contributing the most to the gain after both posted declines in March.
Sales in the food, beverage and tobacco subsector rose 1.5% to $11.8 billion, a third consecutive monthly gain. Higher sales in the food industry (+1.4%) contributed the most to the gain.
The U.S. current-account deficit increased to $116.8 billion (preliminary) in the first quarter of 2017 from $114.0 billion (revised) in the fourth quarter of 2016, according to statistics released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). The deficit increased to 2.5 percent of current-dollar gross domestic product (GDP) from 2.4 percent in the fourth quarter.
The $2.8 billion increase in the current-account deficit reflected a $5.3 billion increase in the deficit on goods and a $3.6 billion decrease in the surplus on primary income that were partly offset by a $5.8 billion decrease in the deficit on secondary income and a $0.3 billion increase in the surplus on services.

This reflected surpluses for goods (€25.1 billion), primary income (€8.2 billion) and services (€7.4 billion), which were partly offset by a deficit for secondary income (€18.5 billion).
The 12-month cumulated current account for the period ending in April 2017 recorded a surplus of €349.9 billion (3.2% of euro area GDP), compared with one of €358.6 billion (3.4% of euro area GDP) for the 12 months to April 2016 (see Table 1 and Chart 1). This development was due to decreases in the surpluses for services (from €70.4 billion to €57.8 billion) and goods (from €359.5 billion to €357.2 billion), and an increase in the deficit for secondary income (from €122.4 billion to €145.0 billion). These were partly offset by an increase in the surplus for primary income (from €51.1 billion to €79.9 billion).

Economic forecasts by the Federal Government's Expert Group - summer 2017:
A further marked increase in economic momentum is to be expected over the coming quarters given the promising outlook for the global economy and positive leading indicators. The Federal Government's Expert Group is therefore anticipating gross domestic product (GDP) to grow by 1.4% in 2017 (previously: 1.6%) and by 1.9% in 2018 (unchanged). Both domestic demand and Swiss foreign trade are expected to contribute to growth positively. As the economic situation brightens, the job market is also likely to continue its recovery. The Expert Group still anticipates an unemployment rate of 3.2% in 2017 and 3.1% in 2018.
In May 2017 the index of producer prices for industrial products rose by 2.8% compared with the corresponding month of the preceding year. In April 2017 the annual rate of change all over had been 3.4%, as reported by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis).
Compared with the preceding month April 2017 the overall index fell by 0.2% in May 2017 (+0.4 in April and unchanged in March).
In May 2017 the price indices of all main industrial groups increased compared with May 2016: Energy prices rose by 3.0%, though the development of prices of the different energy carriers diverged. Prices of petroleum products increased by 6.7% and prices of electricity by 5.6%, whereas prices of natural gas (distribution) decreased by 5.5%. Prices of intermediate goods rose by 3.7%, prices of non-durable consumer goods by 3.5%. Prices of durable consumer goods and prices of capital goods increased each by 1.1%.
The overall index disregarding energy was 2.7% up on May 2016 and rose by 0.1% compared with April 2017.
