Fundamental view

United States

Monday (October 13th) is the Columbus Day federal holiday, which remembers Christopher Columbus arrival to the Americas on October 12th 1492. Columbus day is a public holiday in many parts of the United states, but is not observed or is not a holiday in some states. Government offices are generally closed, but businesses may remain open. Schools are not required to close and may decide to remain open or closed. The Columbus Day is a legal observance in Florida.

China

The surplus on Chinas balance of trade probably shrank to 41.000 billion USD during September, according to market expectations. In August the nation had a record high surplus at the amount of 49.83 billion USD, following a previous record figure of 47.30 billion USD in July. In August 2013 Chinese trade balance produced a surplus of 28.5 billion USD. Exports increased at an annualized rate of 9.4% to 208.5 billion USD in August, following a 14.5% increase in July. Shipments to the United States were up 11.4%, while exports to the European Union rose 12.1% in August. At the same time, total imports fell at a rate of 2.4% to 158.6 billion USD in August, after another 1.5% drop, registered in July.

The trade balance, as an indicator, measures the difference in value between a nation’s exported and imported goods and services during the reported period. It reflects the net export of goods and services, or one of the components to form country’s Gross Domestic Product. Generally, exports reflect economic growth, while imports indicate domestic demand. In case the trade balance surplus shrank less than anticipated, this would have a bullish effect on the yuan. The General Administration of Customs will release the official numbers at 2:00 GMT on Monday.
