LONDON, June 4 (Reuters) - Swiss gold exports fell in
April from March as higher supplies to India and Turkey were
offset by lower deliveries to China and Hong Kong, customs data
showed.
    Switzerland is the world's biggest bullion refining and
transit hub while China and India are the largest consumer
markets, where local demand depends on the season and is
sensitive to high gold prices.
    Swiss gold exports to India jumped month on month and year
on year to the highest since February, when local jewellers
stocked up for the wedding season.
