REUTERS/Jo Yong-HakIn the US, dollar bills are all the same shade of green, and they all look very similar, aside from slightly different images.

The trade figures come a day ahead of the country's inflation reading, with markets on the lookout for further signs of deflation in the world's second-largest economy. Ahead of the data release, the offshore yuan was little changed at 7.2039 per dollar. The Aussie slipped 0.05% to $0.6571, while the kiwi fell 0.08% to $0.6102. "This week's economic data ... will continue to paint a picture of a weak Chinese economic recovery," said Carol Kong, a currency strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. "With the (Federal Reserve's) interest rate policymaking remaining data dependent, every data point has been eliciting an even higher level of vigilance," said Gary Dugan, chief investment officer at Dalma Capital.

Jo, considerat unul dintre cei mai apropiați asistenți ai lui Kim, a fost văzut de analiști ca numărul trei în stat, după Kim Jong Un și Choe Ryong Hae, președintele Comitetului permanent al Adunării Populare Supreme.
