In this video I discuss the latest data and ongoing problems within the Chinese Economy. Chinese businesses are under severe pressure with producer prices falling at their fastest rate for 6 months and having now fallen for 30 consecutive months. The economy is currently in the grip of deflation with domestic prices having fallen in every one of the past 3 months. Added to this the USA represents the largest single export market for China’s exports and those exports are now facing minimum Tariffs of 30%, however that figure could rise depending upon the outcome of the ongoing trade deal negotiations.
