1. UK Trip – Wake up to Deflation Risk
By Bo Zhuang, Chief China Economist
- London-based investors are turning cautiously optimistic on China’s growth outlook amid the latest easing measures in January
- There is still little awareness about the rising deflation risk
- Interest in the trade war has subsided

Today’s data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on new home prices for 70 major cities in January shows on average a marginally accelerating year-on-year price growth and a slower month-on-month increase. This continues to contrast with the year-on-year deceleration in SouFun-CREIS 100 Cities price index.
