BEIJING — The Chinese central bank halted its government bond purchases Friday in an attempt to slow a one-way bonds trade that's put unwanted downward pressure on the yuan, analysts said. China's 10-year bond yield plunged to a record low this month, while the Chinese currency traded in Hong Kong on Wednesday hit its weakest against the U.S. dollar in more than a year. Compared with the U.S. Treasury 10-year bond yield of 4.68%, the yield on the Chinese government 10-year bond is around 1.64%. Supporting the yuanChina has also recently ramped up efforts to support the yuan by issuing bills in the Hong Kong market. The PBOC will auction 60 billion yuan in six-month bills in Hong Kong on Jan. 15, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said Thursday.

☆ China's consumer inflation slows further in December, stoking deflation worries

China's consumer price inflation in December slipped to 0.1% year on year, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Thursday, stoking deflation concerns. On a month-on-month basis, China's CPI came in flat, compared with the 0.6% decline in the prior month. "Headline CPI will be negatively impacted by the weaker pork price in 2025," analysts at ANZ Bank wrote in a note. Wholesale prices continued to be fall for a 27th straight month, with China's producer price inflation down 2.3% year on year in December. The ongoing near-zero consumer inflation indicates that China continues to struggle with weak domestic demand that has raised the specter of deflation.

Our reputation quickly found a nifty shorthand: Millennials were a generation of minimalists. The minimalist-millennial myth began in the early 2010s in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Though it was largely an aesthetic trend, the myth of millennial minimalism was so central to my cohort's cultural identity that it may as well have been real. Even now, demand for cars is looked at as a bellwether for consumer spending and the US economy more broadly. Proving the point, young adults were back to buying cars by the mid-2010s.
