Global Data Pod Weekender: On global disinflation and China re-opening

After a week in which growth prospects for 1H23 improved, inflation prospects improved as well this week. The disinflation trends that began in early 4Q22 continued through yearend as supply conditions look to be moving into better alignment with demand—a key condition that central banks need to see. But the journey has further to run, and the improvements will only be enough to get policy rates to hold in the coming months—not to start cutting. China re-opening is a positive for growth but the inflation impulse to the rest of the world will be keenly watched.
