China’s Economic Slowdown
Recent reports from Reuters highlight China’s economic slowdown, with second-quarter growth dropping to 5.2% year-over-year. This deceleration, coupled with concerns over reduced consumer spending and impending U.S. tariffs, raises the possibility of additional stimulus measures to support the targeted 5% annual growth rate.
