Friday: Chinese inflation peaks in June
About this episode
This episode discusses the peak of Chinese inflation in June, the slip in oil prices, and features an interview with ANZ Economist Henry Russell on the US labour force decline.
Oil prices slip overnight on renewed hope the Iran conflict may not escalate. China’s inflation peaks in June, but not enough for an easing, and New Zealand’s manufacturing sector comes roaring back at the end of the June quarter. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ Economist Henry Russell explains why a record fall of 2.1 million in the US labour force in the first six months of 2026 matters for the Fed.
