The country's M2 surged to a new record since data avail in 1999 of 28.5%, well above expected 26.7%, compared to an average in past years around 18% and their GDP this morning was also stronger than had been anticipated. China's economy gathered momentum in the 2nd Quarter of the year thanks to a continuation of the massive fiscal and monetary stimulus. Yesterday's UK jobs figures were, as reported during the rest of the day, horrendous. UK unemployment data rose to hit a 12 year high of 2.38 million in the three months to May, equivalent to 7.6% of the workforce. This bigger than expected jump is the largest rise we have seen since records began in 1971 and 2.4% higher than it was this time last year.
