Economic Reports & Headlines
Today turned out to be uneventful and quiet due to the lack of data on the economic calendar. However, there was one report that was sure to move markets, Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP).

NFP for the month of May came in marginally higher than expected, 175k vs 167k.

The Federal Reserve Board of Governors released their Consumer credit report which came in below consensus by a wide mark, 11bn Vs 14bn.


Overseas in China, their merchandise trade report was a stark contrast to the previous reading. Exports and imports were practically flat on a month over month basis. The Chinese Trade Surplus came in at 20.43bn Vs econoday’s consensus of 19.44bn.
