FOREX-Dollar steadies after losses on soft jobs data, pound gains
Against the Japanese yen, the dollar was trading at 155.68 yen, up 0.15% but unable to reclaim Thursday's 155.95 high. Coming on top of last week's weak payrolls report, it further encouraged investors that the Federal Reserve will start lowering interest rates in the autumn and spurred buying of stocks and bonds, pulling down yields. Alvin Tan, head of Asia FX strategy at RBC Capital Markets, said the dollar was unlikely to fall too far, however, given that high U.S. interest rates still make U.S. bonds attractive.

China's April car sales swing to contraction despite NEV milestone
China's car sales fell 5.8% in April from a year earlier, industry data showed on Friday, as a ferocious price war and incentives failed to shake off consumers' caution about spending on big items during a shaky economic recovery. While the share of new energy vehicle sales scaled a new high, paving the way for the world's largest auto market to fast-track its green goal, sales of electric vehicles are still far slower than those of plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). Sales of passenger vehicles were 1.55 million units in April, down 9.6% from March, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) said.

The slowing economy is now the dominant concern of respondents to the European Chamber of Commerce in China survey, which was released Friday.
