German Trade Balance Extends Support to EUR/JPY – Quick Trade Idea
What’s up, fellas.
As expected, the market is muted and not showing much movement in the absence of high impact economic events. However, Germany has released a low impact economic event which can help determine trends in the European crosses today.
Germany, which is considered a business hub of the Eurozone, released the trade balance data. Germany exported products to the tune of 113.9 billion euros and imported products to the value of 93.4 billion euros in May 2019.
As per the provisional figures, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) also reports that German exports grew by 4.5% and imports by 4.9% in the May 2019 year on year. With this, the ECB rate cut or dovish policy sentiment gets a severe dent as a growing economy won’t need immediate monetary accommodation.
