China Import Slump


Morning Report: 07.30 London


• This morning, China is under focus again after posting a larger than expected surplus. Exports dropped by a small amount, while imports collapsed by around 20%. This has hurt the commodity currencies of the Australian and New Zealand Dollar as it provides further proof of a slowdown in commodity demands. The AUD/JPY is off by 0.83%, with the AUD/USD down by 0.63.
                


• The USD/CAD is on the rise again as the Dollar finds its feet and the commodity mini revival stumbles.
              

                                               

• Meanwhile, the Dollar index has stabilised while the EUR/USD continues to rise.

                      

Coming up today:

• This morning, we have UK CPI at 09.30, with zero inflation growth expected. RPI, PPI and BOE credit conditions are released at the same time.

• German ZEW economic sentiment follows at 10.00.

Trade Idea:

• The NZD/USD has had a strong run over the last month, but with the Dollar stabilising and China wobbling, now is a good time play the pullback.

                      

A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the NZD/USD will close below 0.6600 in 14 days time for a potential return of 201%.
