what happened
Zhiwei Zhang, chief economist at Pinpoint Asset Management, says the latest Chinese consumer price data shows domestic demand is still soft. In his view, authorities have not yet launched any meaningful stimulus, possibly because export growth has been unusually strong.
Attention now shifts to the Central Economic Working Conference in December, where the 2027 growth target will be set. Zhang suggests the target could be adjusted somewhat. Investors will also watch Trump's upcoming meeting with Chinese leaders for signals on the future direction of U.S.-China policy. Zhang notes the last two summits went well, but a recent call between officials pointed to tensions on economic issues.
why it matters
Weak demand and the lack of stimulus support expectations for a more accommodating stance from Beijing, which matters for the yuan and Chinese equities. The growth target decided in December and the outcome of talks with Washington could give markets key signals.
