He said that central bank currently faces a dilemma of uh continued voice-verified

economic weakness um while they're also seeing ri rising inflation and you sort of suggested it means that monetary policy needs to be nimble as the bank may need to either cut or deliver consecutive rate hikes. voice-verified

So I guess unpacking that he is saying leaving the the door slightly ajar for for possible rate cuts. voice-verified

But I think you know the other the other point to note there is he didn't say rate hike, he said consecutive rate. voice-verified

Yeah, yeah. voice-verified

I I I I agree and I think as I said, that's what you saw in the US inflation print too. voice-verified

There's there's limited evidence of second round effects yet. voice-verified

So so you know, I I I think that's a positive for central banks, but it is still early. voice-verified

Yeah, so in interesting um numbers coming out of China yesterday. voice-verified

So as you said, a week CPI print. voice-verified

Um the annual rate came in at one point two percent, which was unchanged from April and slightly below expectations. voice-verified

I think the market was expecting one point three. voice-verified

Food prices were a strong drag on inflation in the month. voice-verified

Um and of note was a sixteen percent fall in in port prices. voice-verified

But in contrast, the PPI uh report was quite strong. voice-verified

Um it accelerated on an annual rate to three point nine percent and is the fastest pace since July two thousand and twenty-two. voice-verified

Um and I think the core the PPI annual measure was two point eight percent in April. voice-verified

So voice-verified

So a really strong acceleration in the month driven by energy and metal prices. voice-verified

And I think the the focus really is that divergence that you're seeing between the inflation print and the PPI print. voice-verified
