Key Quotes:
"Risk sentiment reversed course after the second world's largest economy posted a surplus of CNY382bn, against the 338bn drop expected. Imports fell by 7.6% against a 11.5% decline expected, whilst exports also decrease much less than expected.
In Europe, data released was second line one, with the most notable news being Greece moving out of deflation, as the yearly CPI printed 0.4% in December, although it hardly affected the common currency."
