"Something is definitely wrong with China's economy," Yardeni said, alluding to the fact that months after the Chinese government lifted its strict COVID-19 lockdown measures,That has flipped the economic narrative on its head, as many economists had expected at the start of this year that a reopening of China's economy would help lift the global economy while also putting upside pressure on inflation.
But Chinese exports fell in June and the country's imports have remained flat since mid-2021, Yardeni highlighted, and that's leading to lower prices for goods. "Confirming the weakness in China's economy is that the country's PPI fell 5.4% year-over-year through June, while the CPI was unchanged over the same period," Yardeni said."China's PPI inflation rate tends to be a leading indicator for the US PPI for finished goods, which fell 2.8% year-over-year in June."
