Good morning. My three takeaways from China’s latest inflation data: Annual PPI inflation accelerated to 4.1% in June, the highest in four years and up from 3.9% in May (see FT chart below). With annual CPI softening to 1.0% (down from 1.2%), the gap between wholesale costs and consumer prices widened. On a sequential basis, monthly PPI actually contracted by 0.3% in June, largely reflecting the sharp pullback in international oil prices. #economy #china #inflation #markets @FT
