China trade data coming up on Monday in Asia, Sunday evening US time

We will get March trade balance data from China on Monday during the Asian time.

But, errrr, let me put a caveat on that ... there is no firm release time as yet. So I'm posting this as a heads up - we should get the March China trade balance on Monday Asia time.

The March data is notable because its usually the first trade balance data that is not impacted by the distortions around the lunar new year, which can have volatile impacts on January and February data out of China.

I'll be back on Monday morning with consensus expectations and what to watch for in the data (export numbers will be a focus)

Also, some time over the coming week we'll get data on:

• Foreign Reserves for Q1 of 2015 - analysts are looking for continued small declines, with the gain in the USD bringing lower USD-value of non-dollar reserves, particularly against a sliding EUR (EUR denominated reserves will suffer)
• March Aggregate Financing Activity also, aggregate financing is an important leading indicator of nominal growth. It should show a jump after the February holiday levels
