I am a bit unsure on the scheduling of this … it may be today or it may be tomorrow (Saturday, China time) … I’ve checked out 3 different calendars, one has it for today (Friday) at 0200GMT, one has it only tentatively for today with no time set and one has it today or tomorrow (Saturday). OK, then, well … be prepared …

  • China trade balance for July: expected is $27.40bn, prior was $31.56bn
  • Exports: expected is +7.0%, prior was +7.2%
  • Imports: expected is +2.6%, prior was +5.5%

(Oh and as a ps. …. we will be getting Chinese CPI and PPI data over the weekend)
