돈되는 정보

Economic Indicators & Central Banks:

  • Trading remains quiet in a very busy week of data, earnings, supply, NFP and the Fed.

  • German retail sales bounced 1.8% m/m in March. Sales were still down -2.7% y/y, but the rebound at the end of the first quarter is encouraging and suggests that higher wages and lower inflation are boosting consumption trends.
