š Global Markets on Edge: US & China Inflation Data in Focus!
As the world's two largest economies, the inflation data from the US and China are critical barometers for global financial markets.
* China's Producer Price Index (PPI) has been contracting for an unprecedented 31 consecutive months, signaling industrial oversupply and weak demand. What impact will this have on global supply chains?
* US core inflation remains elevated around 2.8-2.9%, keeping the Federal Reserve on a restrictive policy path. Strong labor market data continues to add to inflation concerns.
Why should you care? These inflation trends directly influence central bank policies (interest rates!), which can then ripple through equity markets and even impact crypto valuations. Watch for potential shifts in market sentiment!
