The Dearness of Protein: Why China’s Egg Prices are Rivaling Pork
Egg prices in China have unexpectedly surged, nearly matching pork prices due to a supply-side contraction caused by previous industry losses and extreme heat. While farmers are now seeing record profits, a five-month production lag suggests that high prices will persist until late 2025.
China’s Protein Shift: Why Egg Prices are Chasing Pork in an Unseasonal Surge
China is experiencing an unseasonal surge in egg prices that is narrowing the price gap with pork, driven by a structural supply contraction and high summer temperatures. While poultry farmers are seeing a recovery in profit margins, consumers face significant price hikes that are expected to persist until late 2026.

China’s 2026 ‘Strong Start’: AI Demand, Infrastructure and Exports Drive Early Recovery
China’s January–February data show a broad early‑year recovery led by infrastructure and high‑tech investment, a services‑led consumer rebound and a brisk trade performance. New drivers—AI‑related compute demand, electronics manufacturing and strengthened online services metrics—are increasingly visible alongside traditional investment.
China’s Economy Posts A “Good Start” to 2026 as High‑Tech Manufacturing and Exports Lead Recovery
January–February official data show China’s economy making a solid start to 2026, driven by strong gains in high‑technology manufacturing, robust export growth and a rebound in services and online consumption.

What China’s Jan–Feb ‘Scorecard’ Really Means for Growth and Policy
First Financial released a brief Jan–Feb national economic scorecard, an early read that investors and policymakers use to judge first‑quarter momentum after Lunar New Year distortions. The report’s signals on consumption, investment, exports and jobs will shape Beijing’s near‑term policy choices between targeted support and broader stimulus.
PBOC Governor Pledges Continued Targeted Easing and Stronger Counter‑Cyclical Tools to Support Growth

China’s Economic Stewards Deliver a Reassuring, Targeted Playbook: Fiscal Push, Market Reform and a Firm RMB
At a high-profile economic press session, China’s top economic managers signalled a cautious but constructive approach: targeted fiscal-financial support, equity-market reform, steady financial opening and a firm stance on the currency. The package prioritises market confidence and structural adjustments over broad stimulus, leaving impact contingent on implementation and private-sector response.
State-Backed Tech Shares: Ex-Top Economist Proposes National Accounts and a 10-Year Safety Net to Share China’s Innovation Dividend
Former Guangfa and Citi economist Shen Minggao has proposed state-facilitated tech-stock accounts for citizens — including newborn, working-age and pension-linked plans — backed by a ten-year minimum return guarantee of around 3% annualised. He argues the scheme would convert technological progress into household wealth, boost consumption and help China navigate a structural slowdown in nominal GDP. The proposal balances the aims of broadening ownership and financing tech growth but raises fiscal, governance and moral-hazard challenges that will determine its feasibility and market impact.
Yuan’s Post‑Holiday Rally Reaches 2023 Highs — Beijing Signals Vigilance as Policy Shifts
The yuan has rallied sharply since the Lunar New Year, pushing to its strongest levels versus the dollar since April 2023 as onshore and offshore rates break 6.87. Analysts attribute the move to improving Sino‑US ties, dollar weakness amid U.S. political turbulence, and accelerated export settlements, while the PBOC has signalled a readiness to use the exchange rate as an automatic stabiliser and to step in if moves become disorderly.
