Retail Sales. China, 04:00 (GMT+2) 18 May

At 04:00 (GMT+2), China will release April retail sales data, an indicator that tracks the volume of goods retailers sold based on samples of stores of various types and sizes. It is the primary indicator of consumer spending, which influences the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). If the indicator declines to 1.7% YoY, this would place pressure on the yuan’s position.
