Global News

* India’s retail inflation hits 6-year low at 2.1% in June, boosting rate cut hopes: Despite China reporting 5.2% GDP growth in Q2, workers like Zhang Jinming, a state firm employee whose salary was cut by 24%, are struggling. To cope, Zhang delivers food nightly, highlighting how wage cuts and rising workloads are pushing many to moonlight. Structural issues like weak domestic demand, delayed payments, and deflation are squeezing incomes across sectors, from real estate to education. Teachers in poorer regions report unpaid or delayed salaries, and service workers face rising unemployment. Economists warn that China's export-driven, dual-speed economy with strong industry but weak consumption is causing liquidity stress, falling tax revenues, and risks of prolonged slowdown.

Global Debt Market:

U.S. Treasury yields fell on Tuesday ahead of key inflation figures due later on Tuesday which may offer further insights into the Federal Reserve’s potential interest rate moves. The 10-year Treasury yield was about one basis point lower at 4.419%, and the 30-year yield was lower by more than one basis point at 4.958%. The 2-year yield was flat at 3.9% .Economists surveyed by Reuters anticipate that headline inflation for June will pick up to 2.7% on an annual basis, up from 2.4% in May. Core inflation is also projected to increase to 3.0% from 2.8%. “If tariffs begin to show up clearly in the US June CPI data .U.S. bond markets could sell off to reflect the higher inflation risk brought about by [U.S. President Donald] Trump’s recent tariff escalation,” Eastspring Investments analysts experts wrote in a note published Tuesday. In comparison, a softer than expected core consumer price index number will risk leading the U.S. administration to view higher tariffs as a “costless source” of revenue to pay for some of the tax cuts in the “big beautiful bill,” the consultancy added. Investors are also eyeing developments after White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said on Sunday that the Trump administration is looking into whether it has the authority to dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. “But certainly, if there’s cause, he does,” Hassett said on ABC News’ “This Week.” Although Trump has publicly stated he does not intend to fire Powell, Hassett’s remarks indicate the White House is still exploring the option.
