after three years, and the latest sign of warming times. first is gearing up to be a big week on the data front. we'll tell you what you can expect. hi there, welcome to asia business report, with me, mariko oi. china and australia seem to be moving beyond trades because over the weekend, beijing ended tariffs on australia and mali. —— australian harley. it follows the resumption of trade in products like coal and timber,

but in not all restrictions have been restricted. some remain on items like lobster and wine. i spoke to clive russell, who explains what's changed between beijing and the changed between bei'ing and the centreleft changed between beijing and lie: centreleft labour government was replacing the right—wing government. that allowed a reset of relations between beijing and camera, which had been rocky. there had not been benefit for other party from the action china took. it cost china a lot of money, so it wasn't really a win for them and it didn't hurt australia as far as australia's miners were able to find alternate markets and didn't suffer that much at all. ~ ., ., ., ,

focus on tuesday with trade figures due forjuly. global demand has left a drop in exports in the month ofjune, and midweek, we'll get the make insulation from the world's second biggest economy as china continues to struggle for post—pandemic rebound. rounding off and inflation will get us reading on thursday. any increase in price growth could pressure the american central bank, the federal reserve, to raise rates in september. earlier, i spoke to tim murray, and he explained what he's expecting. i and he explained what he's “peeling-— and he explained what he's expecting. and he explained what he's exectina. ., , . ., expecting. i would expect it to aaain be expecting. i would expect it to again be slightly _ expecting. i would expect it to again be slightly lower- expecting. i would expect it to again be slightly lower than i again be slightly lower than expectations. right now, what's positive about inflation in the us is that a lot of it was generated by housing prices. so, shelter is about 40% of the cpi number. we know that's

coming now. it actually impacts inflation and the house prices have been coming down or actually flattening for the last 12 months.— actually flattening for the last 12 months. we also have the 'ob last 12 months. we also have the job last _ last 12 months. we also have the job last week _ last 12 months. we also have the job last week that - last 12 months. we also have the job last week that came i last 12 months. we also have | the job last week that came in cooler than before. what is mean in terms of the feds's next move?— mean in terms of the feds's next move? . �*, . ., , next move? that's a really good question- _ next move? that's a really good question- i _ next move? that's a really good question. i think— next move? that's a really good question. i think that's - next move? that's a really good question. i think that's one - question. i think that's one more hike left. i don't know if it will be in september or november. but you have to recognise that we will have two more reports before we get to that next decision. we'll also have two more inflation reports, so there's a lot of data yet to come. the one thing i think you can be sure about is that we won't get cuts anytime soon. that's one thing that china has been very clear about. do not expect cuts until 2024. is about. do not expect cuts until 202a. is there will more hike

in the cards? probably. i wouldn't expect a whole lot more than that. meanwhile, in the second _ more than that. meanwhile, in the second biggest _ more than that. meanwhile, in the second biggest economy, | the second biggest economy, it's a very different picture. slower than expected. we haven't really seen a massive package announced by beijing, so what are you expecting? i think what we'll continue to see is something relatively modest from beijing. i think the important thing to recognise, and this is something that markets have had trouble with, chinese stimulus is not going to be the same way. it's no longer going to be focused on the market. that's what i would guess. i think they've been very clear that what they would rather do, rather than really worry about specific economic growth targets, they're probably more concerned about where they go, what they call common prosperity, which has to do with notjust having wealth

increase, but having wealth and more broadly distributed. i think they'll be focusing on measures that do a betterjob of that. if you pump up the property market, that makes housing less affordable. tim murray speaking _ housing less affordable. tim murray speaking to me earlier. summer holidays are in full swing around the world, but many places are facing a labour shortage after the pandemic. places like croatia. the country is looking to asia and its workers to fill operational�*s host is bigger than ever. a record number of visitors arrived in the first half of this year and this summer is set to break all previous records. that's great news for creation of�*s economy and around the fifth of its gdp comes from tourism. seems to be giving it another boost. one
