  • European markets open lower while Asian stocks are mixed after U.S. indexes declined ahead of an update on consumer inflation due later Wednesday.

The article from the Associated Press discusses the current economic challenges facing China, particularly focusing on the real estate sector and broader economic indicators. China's economic recovery is faltering, with the real estate market experiencing significant distress. Country Garden, one of China's largest property developers, has missed interest payments on its bonds, signaling potential default and reflecting broader issues within the industry. This situation has led to a decline in property sales, construction, and investment, which are critical for economic growth. Additionally, consumer prices in China are barely rising, with the consumer price index up by just 0.1% in June, indicating weak domestic demand. Producer prices, however, have fallen by 5.4%, suggesting deflationary pressures at the factory gate. These factors, combined with a youth unemployment rate hitting a record 21.3%, paint a picture of an economy struggling to regain momentum post-COVID, with potential implications for global markets given China's role in the world economy.
