In the US session Goods Trade Balance. An early look at U.S. trade patterns in July points to a wider deficit. The advanced trade gap in goods — services are excluded — widened by nearly 1.8% to $65.1 billion in July, the Commerce Department said Monday. Both exports and imports declined, but exports dropped at a faster pace. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected a goods trade deficit of $64.6 billion. The government will release overall trade numbers, including services, for July next week, but the size of the trade deficit is generally tied to changes in exports and imports of goods. Trade patterns involving services rarely change much from month to month.
There will be no major data releases from Eurozone tomorrow. In the US session Consumer Confidence figures will be published. Analysts anticipate decrease to 120.3.
