A vegetable vendor

BEIJING: A vegetable vendor standing with her daughter at her stall at a market in Beijing on Wednesday. Factory prices in China were unchanged in June from a year ago, data showed on the day reviving the prospect of deflation as the US trade war hits the crucial manufacturing sector. At the same time consumer prices managed to meet expectations but the main support came from a surge in food prices owing to the impact of African swine fever on pork supplies and severe weather hitting fresh fruits. — AFP
