China’s inflation cools to 0.1%, its slowest pace in two years

Hong Kong
CNN
—
Deflationary pressure in China is worsening as consumer prices increased at their slowest pace in two years, suggesting weakness in domestic demand and raising questions about the strength of the economic rebound.

The consumer price index rose by just 0.1% in April from a year ago, the lowest rate of inflation since February 2021, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Thursday. In March and February, it increased 0.7% and 1% respectively.

The producer price index, which measures factory-gate prices, declined by 3.6%, marking the biggest contraction in three years. It’s the seventh straight month the figure has fallen.

Prices are stagnating or falling in the country despite the fact that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), the central bank, has been cutting interest rates and pumping cash into the financial system to bolster the economy.

There have been some signs of recovery in demand after the end of pandemic restrictions late last year, but consumers are still wary of spending on big-ticket items, such as property.

“The subdued inflation readings suggest post-Covid recovery momentum continued to weaken in April,” Nomura analysts said in a research note on Thursday.

The weak property sector recovery likely has exerted “persistent” downward pressure on the factory-gate prices, they added.

Real estate contributes as much as 30% to China’s GDP. It is still in the midst of a historic downturn, with new home prices increasing less than 0.5% in both March and February, after falling for more than a year.

A slump in the property sector affects demand for key raw materials such as steel and cement, which are key parts of the producer price index.

According to data released Tuesday by the customs authority, imports plunged 7.9% in April, indicating weak domestic demand. Exports were strong, up 8.5% from a year, although that was slower than the 14.8% growth recorded in March.

Somehow I also recall Wang Yi visited Myanmar, and met the military head just before the coup.

NATO planning to open office in Tokyo, Japan’s envoy to U.S. says

Japanese Ambassador to the U.S. Koji Tomita has offered up the strongest hint that NATO will open a liaison office in Tokyo, telling reporters that Japan was “working in that direction,” after a report said earlier this month that the security alliance would open its first such station in Asia.

Asked about the report during a news conference in Washington on Tuesday, Tomita confirmed that discussions have been taking place on how to strengthen Tokyo’s partnership with NATO after Prime Minister Fumio Kishida became the first Japanese leader to attend a NATO summit last June.

Anti evil axis alliance is formed.
