China's July inflation eases as Iran-war spillover fades

China's July CPI rose 0.5% year-on-year, the slowest pace since January, helped by slower gasoline-price gains, while producer prices climbed 3.5% YoY, easing from 4.1%. Month-on-month, CPI fell 0.1%. Domestic demand remains weak as PMIs show softer momentum and retail sales edged up 1% in June after May decline, with fixed-asset investment down 5.7% in H1. GDP growth in Q2 was 4.3%, below the official target. Exports jumped about 24% in July, and oil/chemical components drove the PPI as oil prices retreat from earlier highs. Authorities signaled more fiscal spending but stopped short of a major stimulus.

Robot deliveries could replace 700,000 JD.com couriers, says founder

JD.com founder Richard Liu warned that rapid automation could eventually replace about 700,000 delivery workers, as the company trains couriers for robot maintenance and runs pilot programs (e.g., airport delivery robots and robot restocking). The comments highlight policymakers’ worries about gig workers amid China’s push on robotics in its five-year plan, with youth unemployment rising and debates over social protections for platform workers.

China’s Housing Slump Echoes Japan, But Path Ahead Remains Unclear

FT Alphaville shows China’s housing bust could trigger real-economy spillovers—weaker consumption, tighter local budgets from land sales, and potential bank stress—because housing accounts for a large share of private wealth and household debt. Using Rogoff-Yang’s dataset and city-level data, the piece compares the trajectory to Japan’s 1990s bust, suggesting a Japan-like long adjustment or a US-like shorter downturn, with much still to come.

JD.com Struggles to Convince Amid China's Economic Uncertainty

JD.com reported a 5.1% increase in quarterly revenue, indicating cautious consumer spending in China as the government implements economic stimulus measures. Despite a 48% rise in net income, the modest revenue growth reflects ongoing challenges in the Chinese consumer market post-Covid. JD.com and Alibaba are key indicators of consumer trends, with JD.com seeing increased shopper numbers during Singles Day. Analysts suggest JD.com may pursue more aggressive growth strategies, leveraging improved consumer sentiment and government support.

Asian Stocks Dip Amid Chinese Stimulus Concerns, Bitcoin Surges

Asian stocks are expected to face challenges in early trading due to underwhelming Chinese economic measures and weak inflation data. Bitcoin surged past $81,000 following Donald Trump's electoral success in key US states. Australian shares declined, and futures in Tokyo and Hong Kong indicate potential losses, as China's plan to address local government debt lacks new domestic demand-boosting measures. Meanwhile, US stock futures rose slightly after the S&P 500's 0.4% gain on Friday, driven by optimism over Trump's pro-growth policies.
