In case you missed it... China's factory inflation hits a near 4-year high.

China's Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 4.1% YoY in June, the highest reading since July 2022 and the 4th consecutive monthly increase.

Higher energy prices during the Iran conflict were the main reason producer prices increased. Source: Bull Theory, FT
