Producer Prices in Asia… The Economist – Commodity Research Group

November 1, 2016 by Jim Colburn Leave a Comment

From The Economist, producer prices are on the rise in Asia (or falling less quickly):

“Steel prices have risen by nearly 50% this year. Production, which fell in 2015 for the first time in decades, is also up. Smelters are set for a strong recovery after losing $10bn last year. And it is not just the steelmakers who will be pleased. Asia’s central bankers can also take some comfort in the rising prices: they suggest that the threat of deflation might be receding.”
