• Sentiment among US small businesses dipped slightly in June, as concerns over taxes persisted during the month of June.

Germany: Trade Balance (May): 18.4bn EUR vs 15.5bn expected (prior: 15.7bn revised from 14.6bn)

• Germany's trade surplus expanded. This growth occurred as exports declined less sharply than imports. Exports dropped by 1.4% m/m to a four-month low of €129.4 bn, a steeper fall than the anticipated 0.2%, largely due to decreased sales to the US and China.
• Exports to the US plummeted by 7.7%, hitting their lowest point since March 2022, impacted by tariffs from the Trump administration. Meanwhile, imports fell by 3.8% to a five-month low of €111.1 bn, reversing April's revised 2.2% increase and exceeding forecasts of a 0.9% decline. The reduction was mainly driven by decreased imports from both EU countries (-3.6%) and non-EU countries (-4.1%).
