Summary
China's June inflation data shows consumer prices barely rising while producer prices hit a near-4-year high. Lucas and Luna drill into this divergence: why weak household demand is compressing margins for Chinese manufacturers, how the property downturn continues to suppress spending, and what it means for investors watching companies like Alibaba and JD.com. They also discuss why the People's Bank of China is hesitant to cut rates further, and whether a trade deal could change the calculus. With specific numbers from the latest reports, this episode gives you the one chart you need to understand China's economy right now. #ChinaEconomy #Inflation #CPI #PPI #ConsumerDemand #Deflation #PBOC #Alibaba #JDcom #PropertyDownturn #TradeBalance #Exports #Manufacturing #ProfitMargins #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #ChinaMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
