3. European stock markets traded lower on
Monday, on weak Chinese inflation data that
raised concerns about the health of the
world's second-largest economy. The DAX
index in Germany traded 0.4% lower, the CAC
40 in France fell 0.4%, while the FTSE 100 in
the U.K. traded 0.1% lower at 03:30 ET
(07:30 GMT). Consumer prices in China
slipped 0.2% on the month of June, and the
producer prices fell 5.4% on the year in June.
These numbers suggest Beijing faces a
serious challenge to avoid an outright
deflationary spiral.

a 5% drop. This marked the worse
decline since December 2015.
Meanwhile, the consumer price index
