May UK adjusted construction output unchanged vs April

Posted: 12 Jul 2013 01:39 AM PDT

Data from the council of mortgage lenders

  • Seasonally adjusted construction flat, but -4.8% y/y
  • Non adjusted output +4.4% m/m -3.4% y/y
  • Home purchase loans rose 31% to 55,900 m/m +19% y/y

Volkswagen 1H sales up 5.5%

Posted: 12 Jul 2013 01:35 AM PDT

  • China 1H sales rise 18.7%. +20.9% in June
  • Europe sales -3.5%
  • North American sales +12.3%
  • Commercial vehicles +0.2% (EU -0.8%)

Europe is still the biggest market for VW and the drop in sales highlights the weakness in the area. EU sales are around 1.87m compared to the second biggest market, Asia 1.73 of which China takes 1.54m.

Commercial vehicle sales were down which also point to a lack of business activity.

The figures are across all the brands they own such as Audi, Skoda, Seat and Lamborghini. Worldwide they produced 9.25m cars in F/Y 2012.

While not exactly news to trade on, it’s worth keeping an eye on car sales as they can give small clues to the state of economic activity.

Data coming up in this session

Posted: 11 Jul 2013 09:59 PM PDT

Good day everyone

Ok, first things first. What another incredible day at The Ashes

Delicately poised now after an amazing recovery thanks to 19 year old Ashton Agar. Surely a No 3 bat who can bowl a bit and stuck in at 11 as a deliberate decoy ploy by the Aussies!

Fair dues though.. it was a terrific knock which undoubtedly has put his team in with a shout

Right, on with the undercard and there’s little to get too excited about data wise. Hopefully EZ ind output might be way out of line and provide some action until we get the US inflation data later

In any event I wish you good fortune and, for those heading out shortly, a good week-end
