In the face of today's data, we still believe that China's economy is unlikely to make a hard landing, although we won't be surprised if the GDP growth rate announced on Friday is lower than the current market expectation of 7.9%. China's recent easing policy to stimulate growth tells us that officials are worried about the health of China's economy. But part of the reason for the recent easing policy may be yesterday's inflation data. The government may already know the results of the inflation report and the GDP data. Even so, considering the convenience of knowing the data in advance in China and the recent downward trend of domestic economic data, Friday's GDP data is certainly likely to be disappointing. While China is making full use of growth stimulus policies to boost domestic demand, the disappointing GDP report may lay the foundation for China to introduce more easing policies later this year.

Risk assets fell after the European review, but this may not be the direct result of the market. On the contrary, investor sentiment usually drops after an unfounded rebound overnight, which has been the norm in the past few periods. AUD/USD was first boosted by export data, then completely controlled by weak import data, and quickly fell below 1.0200, and then continued to drop to the low point near 1.05438+055. EUR/USD didn't get much support at the level of 1.2300, so it soon began to weaken gradually, and then found some support near the opening price of the weekly chart. .
