As usual all the data from China cones at the same time. So, let’s start. In short: China trade balance for April was marginally positive, but in my opinion the China ability to run large trade surplussed is lost and will not return in short term. Implications are diverse, maybe most important the quantity of USD needed to be recycled via. U.S. government debt investments will cease to grow. Also, China cannot continue to import commodities at prices this high in long term. We can see an import price inflation mostly on commodity pride rises and export price deflation. Either prices will come down, either China will import less, or both.
China Inflation Accelerates in February
Posted by Belisarius in China on March 11, 2010
China consumer prices rose 2.7% in February vs. consensus of 2.5% and 1.5% in January. In the same time China producer prices rose 5.4% vs. consensus of 5.1% and 4.3% in January. This obviously is starting to represent a problem for The Peoples Bank of China as CPI this high brings real interest rates to negative -0.5%. Your author believes that a rate rise is imminent which is negative for equity and commodities sector.
