Discover Latest #Deflation News, Articles and Videos with Contenting
- CNBC Deflation is a decrease in the general price level of goods and services. It is the opposite of inflation, which is an increase in the general price level. Deflation occurs when the inflation rate falls below 0 percent. The most extreme form of deflation is a prolonged period of falling prices, called a deflationary spiral. This occurs when the deflationary forces become so strong that they cause a continuing fall in prices, leading to a decrease in demand, which leads to even lower prices and so on. This can be very damaging to an economy, as it reduces economic activity, leading to job losses and even a recession. Deflation can be caused by a decrease in the money supply, a decrease in government spending, or a decrease in aggregate demand. The most famous example of deflation was the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Iron Ore Firms as China Reins In Overcapacity - ForexTV
Iron ore futures remained steady at approximately CNY 725 per tonne on Thursday, marking a position close to six-week highs. This stability comes as China intensifies its initiatives to curb industrial overcapacity and mitigate intense price competition, as part of wider strategies to address deflationary challenges. These efforts are anticipated to bolster China's beleaguered steel sector, currently facing slim profit margins and excessive production volumes. On the supply front, exports from leading producers such as Australia and Brazil have been on the decline, heightening market apprehensions. Recent reports indicate that major mining companies, including Rio Tinto, BHP, Fortescue, and Vale, have all experienced a decrease in exports compared to the previous month. Further contributing to a positive outlook, a recent private survey unexpectedly revealed that Chinese manufacturing activity resumed growth in June, suggesting a possible recovery in industrial demand. This improvement is linked to a temporary reduction in US-China trade tensions, enhancing confidence in the world's largest iron ore market.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
Swiss CPI Shows Modest Uptick in June, Ending Contraction Trend - ForexTV
In a significant development for Switzerland's economy, the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data reports a shift from a negative to a positive territory. As of June 2025, the CPI rose to 0.1%, marking a turnaround from the previous month's contraction of -0.1%. This update, dated July 3, 2025, indicates a subtle yet pivotal change in the Swiss economy's trajectory as the nation tries to stabilize post-pandemic fluctuations.This year-over-year comparison indicates a shift in the economic climate over the past 12 months. May 2025 saw the CPI in a negative zone, potentially reflecting deflationary pressures, whereas June's figures reveal a slight but essential movement toward economic growth. Economists and policymakers will likely interpret this modest increase as a sign of gradual recovery and adjustment in Switzerland's economic environment.While the upward movement in the CPI is modest, it is a welcome development for the Swiss economy, suggesting consumer demand is gradually strengthening. As analysts continue to scrutinize these economic indicators, the shift in June's CPI could foreshadow further stabilization and growth for the Swiss financial landscape in the coming months.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
Bitget Burns 30M BGB Worth $138 Million for Q2 2025 - ForexTV
VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, is set to burn 30,001,053.1 BGB (2.56% of total supply) tokens for the second quarter of 2025, equivalent to approximately $138 million based on the Q2 2025 average price. This brings the total burn for the first half of the year to over 5% of the total supply of the BGB token, based on Bitget’s strategy of growing the native ecosystem token. BGB has emerged as one of the top-performing centralized exchange tokens of 2025, consistently ranking high in terms of trading volume and market capitalization. Since its initial launch, BGB has had several strategic upgrades, evolving into a core asset within the Bitget ecosystem. Its growing popularity is fueled by increasing demand for its utility across various platform features, including staking, fee discounts, Launchpad access, and exclusive campaign eligibility. With over 120 million users in the Bitget ecosystem, BGB runs the infrastructure, as the pillar of support for users incentivization and liquidity across various products. The quarterly BGB burn mechanism is an automated, pre-disclosed program that removes a portion of circulating tokens based on revenue performance and BGB usage on the platform. This structured approach shows both the exchange’s growth trajectory and the increasing transactional demand for BGB. As Bitget continues expanding into new regions and product verticals, from AI-powered trading to Launchpool innovations, the utility of BGB keeps increasing across the platform. “BGB has become one of the most attractive and best-performing CEX tokens,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Its utility and growth have been indicators of its potential. With every burn, we invest in BGB's future that's driven by its strong community and growth.” The recent token burn reduces total supply and builds long-term holder confidence by decreasing inflationary pressure. This creates a more favorable environment for price support and ecosystem maturity. As Bitget grows, the corresponding burn volumes are expected to increase in scale, further increasing the deflationary dynamics that support BGB’s valuation. With a focus on platform growth and product innovation, Bitget continues to drive strategic alignment with the token ecosystem. The Q2 burn represents confidence in BGB's long-term position as a strong utility token within the cryptospace.

Iron Ore Strengthens on China Stimulus Hopes - ForexTV
Iron ore futures surged above CNY 767 per tonne on Friday, reaching their highest point in over three months. This surge is largely driven by increasing speculation that Beijing may introduce new stimulus measures to bolster its struggling property market. Market optimism was further fueled by reports suggesting the possibility of an imminent, high-level policy meeting, potentially akin to the 2015 Central Urban Work Conference, which prioritized urban development and infrastructure investment. The anticipation of renewed support in these sectors has led to expectations of heightened steel demand, thereby pushing iron ore prices upward. Additionally, Beijing's persistent efforts to address industrial overcapacity, particularly in the steel industry, contribute to this trend. These efforts form part of a broader strategy to combat ongoing deflationary pressures and weak domestic demand, challenges exacerbated by US tariffs. On the supply front, shipments from major exporters Australia and Brazil to China have continued to dwindle, intensifying concerns over a tightening global supply.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
French Inflation Breaks Negative Streak: HICP Rises to 0.4% in June - ForexTV
In a surprising turn of events for the French economy, the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) rose to 0.4% in June 2025, ending its brief sojourn into negative territory from the previous month. The latest figures, updated on July 11, mark a reversal from the -0.2% reading recorded in May, offering a snapshot of economic recovery in France's consumer inflation landscape.June's positive movement in the HICP, which measures the average change in prices paid by consumers for goods and services over time, suggests an uptick in consumer demand and potentially easing deflationary pressures that had marked the previous month's figures. The month-over-month comparison reflects a shift from the discouraging contraction seen earlier, showing signs of revitalized activity in the French market.Economists and policy-makers will closely monitor whether this upward trajectory in consumer prices will sustain, especially as they aim to stabilize the economic environment amidst external global uncertainties. The data serves as both a relief and a signal for cautious optimism as France navigates its post-pandemic economic adjustments.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
