Data published by the Chinese Government on Monday showed that in December the value of goods shipped from China to the rest of the world fell by -4% YoY. The $323 Billion gap in value between the amount that China sells to the United States and the amount that China buys from the United States has been at the crux of the Trade War disputes between the world’s two largest economies. The U.S actually has an even higher estimate for that surplus gap at $345 Billion. 3) Global Market Overview- U.S Stock Futures are trading lower -.90% vs. 2596. European markets have open lower in early trading following a Red day in Asian equity markets. 4) More Sour Apple News- One of the largest Apple Suppliers in Europe, Dialog Semiconductor, warned on Monday that its 4Q sales will be coming in at the bottom of the range that it provided back in October. This is just the latest sign that the weak iPhone sales in China are having a larger effect on Apple suppliers that rely on the tech behemoth for orders. Apple warned investors earlier this month that it would be missing its sales target for 4Q’18 by at least $5 Billion due to slower than expected sales in China. 6) Important Events this week Monday-> C Earnings Tuesday-> JPM/WFC/DAL/UAL Earnings Wednesday-> GS/BAC/BLK Earnings Thursday-> AXP/NFLX Earnings 7) Monday markets look- | | futures (22.8), or (0.88%), vs Friday's settlement FTSE 100 (0.75%) to 6866.46 DAX (0.62%) to 10820.34 Nikkei closed Hang Seng (1.38%) to 26298.33 10-year yield (3) bps to 2.67% EFTA00489485
