This is the clearest sign so far that the trade deal agreed in January is under threat. The move will undoubtedly infuriate Trump, who adopted a softer stance on China on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>A new chapter to the trade war could hamper the post coronavirus economic recovery, therefore is weighing on risk appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Domestically, comments from the SBP are acting as a drag on the Rupee. The central bank warned that the Pakistan economy faces downside risks stemming from the coronavirus lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>The very high level of informality in the jobs market increases the risk of layoffs and decreases earnings. Meanwhile, consumption is typically very high in the region, meaning that GDP growth in Pakistan is particularly vulnerable in the current situation of limited mobility.<\/p>\n<p>With rising US \u2013 China trade jitters back in play, the US Dollar has picked up off earlier lows. Investors have broadly shrugged off the riot headlines over the weekend, following George Floyd\u2019s death at the hand of the police.<\/p>\n<p>Attention will now turn to US manufacturing activity data. Analysts are expecting HIS\/Markit purchasing managers index for May to print in line with the preliminary ready at 39.8.
