Merchandise imports in June 2022 were $66.31 Billion, which is an increase of 57.55 per cent over imports of $42.09 Billion in June 2021.

In the global market, a closely-watched part of the U.S. Treasury yield curve on Thursday narrowed its inversion from a level that was more than two-decades deep, after Federal Reserve officials said they support 75 basis points of tightening later this month instead of the 100 bps the market priced in earlier in the session. Furthermore, oil prices rose in early Asian trading amid uncertainty around how aggressive the U.S. Federal Reserve will be in hiking interest rates to combat rampant inflation.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 3 basis points higher at 7.41% from its previous close of 7.38% on Thursday.
