The Day Ahead China – June Trade Balance Exports rose 5.8% year-on-year, beating expectations, as exporters rushed to ship goods before new U.S. tariffs. Imports increased 1.1% year-on-year, recovering slightly from a previous drop. Trade surplus expanded to $114.7 billion from $103.2 billion in May. Takeaway: Export strength is driven by temporary factors. Weak imports still point to fragile domestic demand.

Broader machinery orders (including volatile sectors) rose 3.8% month-on-month. Takeaway: Capital spending is holding up, but investment is uneven. Manufacturing remains cautious amid external uncertainties. ECB – Vujčić & Cipollone Speeches Vujčić: Inflation is near target; further rate cuts may not be needed unless data changes. He supports a patient approach. Cipollone: Focused on the digital euro, stressing the need for secure and inclusive payment systems. Takeaway: The ECB is moving into a “wait-and-see” mode.

The Day AheadEconomic Data Overview: United States – Initial Jobless Claims: This weekly indicator will offer a timely snapshot of US labor market conditions. A rise could signal softening employment dynamics, potentially supporting a dovish bias from the Fed. Conversely, sustained low claims would reaffirm resilience in the jobs market, complicating rate-cut timing. United Kingdom – June RICS House Price Balance: This measure of sentiment among surveyors regarding house prices will provide insight into the UK housing market. A negative reading would suggest downward pressure from higher mortgage rates, while stability or improvement may reflect increased buyer demand amid easing inflation. Japan – June Producer Price Index (PPI): Key for tracking upstream price pressures. Slowing PPI growth would suggest disinflationary momentum, reducing the urgency for further BoJ tightening. Any upside surprise may reinforce speculation of policy normalization beyond the recent rate hike. Italy – May Industrial Production: A barometer of Eurozone manufacturing health. Weak output would highlight the region's ongoing industrial stagnation, potentially reinforcing the ECB’s dovish tilt. Resilience could challenge expectations of sustained easing. Scandinavia – CPI & GDP Indicators: Denmark & Norway June CPI: Will test disinflation progress. Norway, in particular, could see market repricing of Norges Bank's stance if inflation proves stickier than expected. Sweden May GDP Indicator: Offers a snapshot of economic momentum. Weakness could justify the Riksbank’s cautious stance despite persistent inflation concerns. Central Bank Speakers: Federal Reserve – Musalem and Daly: Markets will be looking for clarity on rate cut timing. If comments lean dovish, they could reinforce market pricing for a September cut. Any resistance to easing amid still-strong activity data would introduce volatility. European Central Bank – Cipollone and Villeroy: Focus will be on signaling around September policy. Villeroy, in particular, is seen as a policy bellwether—any firm commitment to a second rate cut could steepen the EUR yield curve and weigh on the euro. Hawkish caution, however, may reflect concerns about lingering service inflation. Takeaway: Thursday’s data and central bank commentary will refine expectations for H2 policy shifts. Jobless claims and CPI prints across Europe remain pivotal for gauging the pace of disinflation, while central bank rhetoric may hint at how aggressively easing cycles might proceed amid mixed economic signals.

The Day AheadData Releases: United States: NFIB Small Business Optimism (June): Offers insights into the health of the US small business sector. A lower-than-expected reading may point to rising concern over economic conditions and future earnings amid persistent inflation and tight credit. NY Fed 1-Year Inflation Expectations: Closely watched for signs of shifting consumer sentiment. Any uptick could reinforce expectations of policy caution from the Fed.

Japan: Economy Watchers Survey (June): A forward-looking gauge of economic sentiment among service sector workers. Deterioration would suggest weakening domestic demand. Bank Lending (June): Reflects the availability and uptake of credit; slowing lending growth would hint at weakening economic momentum. May BoP Current Account & Trade Balance: Current account surplus strength often reflects export health and foreign income. A narrowing surplus may indicate external demand headwinds. Germany & France: May Trade and Current Account Balances: Provide signals on Eurozone’s external sector strength. Germany’s export engine will be in focus given recent signs of industrial weakness. France’s figures will also be monitored for imbalances amid sluggish domestic demand. Central Bank Developments: Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Policy Decision: The RBA held rates steady, as expected, amid persistent inflation in services. While the bank acknowledged progress on headline inflation, it retained a tightening bias, citing risks from strong wage growth and sticky price pressures. Markets are increasingly sensitive to signs of future hikes, particularly with global central banks pivoting toward a more dovish stance. European Central Bank (ECB): ECB’s Joachim Nagel reiterated a cautious tone, emphasizing the need for data-dependency in future policy moves. He signaled concern about upside risks to inflation, especially from services, reinforcing the ECB’s slow path to easing despite recent rate cuts. His comments support market pricing of only gradual rate reductions through the remainder of 2025.

Japan Labor Cash Earnings & Economic Indices (May): Labor cash earnings are a key wage inflation indicator. Any upside surprise could fuel speculation around BoJ normalization. The leading and coincident indices will offer insight into Japan's near-term growth trajectory, particularly in the context of subdued domestic demand. Germany Industrial Production (May): As a bellwether for the Eurozone, this release will help assess the strength of Germany’s industrial rebound. Weakness could reinforce concerns about stagnation in Europe’s largest economy, especially given recent soft factory orders. Eurozone Retail Sales (May): Consumer spending remains critical for the ECB’s policy path. This data will provide clues on household demand resilience amid still-high core inflation and restrictive policy settings. Sweden CPI (June): A key input for Riksbank policy. Any persistent inflationary pressure may challenge the case for further rate cuts, especially as the central bank navigates a weak krona and external pressures. Central Bank Speakers: ECB’s Nagel and Holzmann: Both are considered hawkish members. Their commentary will be scrutinized for signals on the timing and pace of additional rate cuts following June’s initial move. Markets will be sensitive to any shift in tone on inflation persistence or the economic outlook. Implications: The day is rich in second-tier but thematically important data that could shape regional monetary policy expectations. The euro and European rates markets may see modest volatility depending on German IP and ECB commentary. Japanese wage data could revive BoJ tightening bets if stronger than expected.
