Summary of Upcoming Economic Events on July 14, 2025

Asia – Japan & China

Japan – Industrial Production (MoM, May) – 04:30 UTC

  • Forecast: (not specified) | Previous: 0.5%
  • Impact: Indicates manufacturing sector momentum. A surprise decline could weaken JPY and weigh on equity markets; upside would support optimism in capex and industrial sectors.

China – Exports (YoY, Jun) – 15:39 UTC

  • Previous: 4.8%
  • Impact: Key gauge of global demand for Chinese goods. A weaker print could signal slowing international trade, pressuring CNY and Chinese equities; strong results may boost confidence.

China – Imports (YoY, Jun) – 15:39 UTC

  • Previous: –3.4%
  • Impact: Reflects domestic demand. Continued contraction suggests weak internal demand; an improvement indicates potential stimulus impact and boosts sentiment.

China – Trade Balance (USD, Jun) – 15:39 UTC

  • Previous: USD 103.22B
  • Impact: A large surplus supports CNY via USD inflows; a drop may spark RMB softness and signal slowing global trade dynamics.

Market Impact Analysis

  • China’s trade numbers are the focal point: any significant miss could pressure global trade sentiment, weighing on commodity prices, EM currencies, and China-linked equities.
  • Japan’s industrial output gives early insight into the health of East Asia’s manufacturing sector, influencing JPY and regional equities.
  • No major central bank commentary—volatility here may be muted unless data surprises.

Overall Impact Score: 6.5 / 10

Key Watchpoints

  • Exports below 3% YoY would raise concerns about global trade momentum and weigh heavily on risk assets.
  • Imports turning positive would suggest a rebound in domestic demand, easing some pressure on the Chinese economy.
  • Industrial Production below 0% could mark a shift in Japan’s manufacturing cycle, influencing central bank sentiment and domestic equities.
