About Germany Trade Balance

The German Trade Balance released by the Statistisches Bundesamt Deutschland measures the difference in worth between exported and imported goods over the month. A positive number indicates a trade surplus, while a negative value shows a trade deficit. 

A steady demand in exchange for German exports would turn into a positive growth in the trade balance, and that should be positive for the EUR. While a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the EUR.

EUR/USD Spot:

EUR/USD was trading slightly higher at 1.1763 at around 06:15 GMT. 

Guidance:

Major trend in the pair remains bearish. Any upticks could be used as opportunities to enter Short positions.
