The ongoing deflation in the price of US imports from China should moderate as it is based on sharp and unsustainable CNY weakening rather than on productivity gains. China’s influence on global export prices is set to weaken as the global trade system fragments and China’s role diminishes.

European data and ECB speakers will be the main attraction this week – it could be the make or break for whether they hike in September or choose to pause.
