Australia had a merchandise trade surplus of A$1.055 billion in January, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.
That blew away forecasts for a surplus of A$200 million following the upwardly revised A$1.146 billion deficit in December (originally A$1.358 billion).
Exports gained 4.0 percent on month to $33.924 billion, while imports sank 2.0 percent to A$32.869 billion.
