Slight delay in the release of the trade balance figures. A notable decline in both exports and imports on the month and a lower revision for exports as well for June. Seems like it's not just the Eurozone which is affected by global trade tensions. Nonetheless, this is very much a minor data point and there isn't much else to gather from the release here.
