A very quiet European trading session due to the fallout from the July 4th<\/sup> holiday, which has sapped liquidity from the market in general and making traders cautious.<\/p>

In terms of market moves the Eurostoxx 600 edged higher by around 0.85 percent while the EURUSD<\/a> pair failed to make any major ground above the 1.0900 handle.<\/p>

The FTSE100<\/a> is largely treading water today and the GBPUSD<\/a> pair is still struggling to gain meaningful traction above the 1.2700 handle in sluggish FX volumes.<\/p>

On the data front, Germany’s trade surplus narrowed to EUR 14.4 billion in May 2023, compared to a downwardly revised EUR 16.5 billion in the previous month and lower than market expectations of EUR 17.5 billion.<\/p>

This was the smallest trade surplus since last December, as exports fell while imports rose for the first time in three months. Exports unexpectedly edged down 0.1 percent month-on-month to EUR 130.5 billion, missing the market consensus of a 0.3 percent rise.<\/p>

Sales dropped by 1.5% to the EU while to countries outside the EU rose by 1.5%, namely China (1.6%) and the UK (5.8%). However, they fell to the US by 3.6%. Meanwhile, imports grew by 1.7% to a three-month high of EUR 116.1 billion, compared with the market forecasts of a 3.1% growth.<\/p>

Purchases from EU countries increased by 3.5% while those from non-EU countries shrank 0.3%, namely the US (-5.7%), and Russia (-17.3%). By contrast, they increased from China (2.7%) and the UK (15.3%).<\/p>

On the news from Pan Gongsheng was appointed as party secretary for the PBOC This puts him in line as the next PBOC governor and is likely a directive for Yi Gang to step down from the post. Yi has been in charge of China’s central bank since 2018.<\/p>

The reshuffle comes amid a time where the post-Covid recovery in China has pretty much come to a complete halt. It also comes as the yuan exchange rate is coming under pressure and also as Beijing are introducing a host of measures to try and tighten its grip on the financial sector.<\/p>

According to Reuters sources, Pan’s appointment points to growing concerns within the country’s leadership over systemic risks in the financial sector.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
