China reported a slowdown in economic activity, with factory output rising 5.7% year-on-year in July, the slowest pace in eight months, and retail sales increasing just 3.7%, the weakest since December 2024, signaling a softer-than-expected recovery. Meanwhile, Japan’s economy grew faster than expected in the second quarter, with GDP rising 1.0% annualized, boosted by resilient exports and stronger-than-anticipated capital expenditure. Private consumption increased modestly by 0.2%, reflecting steady domestic demand even as global uncertainties, including U.S. tariffs, continue to weigh on the economy. Across the Pacific, U.S. inflationary pressures are resurfacing. Producer prices jumped 0.9% month-on-month in July, the largest increase in three years, driven by broad-based gains in both goods and services. On a year-on-year basis, the producer price index rose 3.3%, up from 2.4% in June, underlining persistent inflationary pressures that could influence Federal Reserve policy moving forward.
