You're tuned into Markets Desk, let's get you caught up on what's moving.
China's wholesale inflation surged to a more than four-year high in October, with the producer price index coming in at five point seven percent, topping economist forecasts of five point three percent. Consumer inflation, however, slowed in the same period, painting a split picture of demand dynamics inside the world's second-largest economy. That divergence will matter closely to commodity markets and global supply chains heading into year-end.
Shifting to credit markets, Eagle Point Credit Company's corporate bond has seen its average one-year price target lifted by more than fourteen percent, moving from forty dollars and forty cents up to forty-six dollars and twenty-three cents as of November eighth, two thousand twenty-six. The upward revision signals growing analyst confidence in the instrument's risk-adjusted return profile, particularly against a backdrop of still-elevated rates.
And in consumer equities, the question of whether Lululemon Athletica or On represents the better long-term buy is gaining traction heading into two thousand twenty-seven. Lululemon carries the weight of over eight hundred company-operated stores, offering scale, but On's growth trajectory in performance footwear is drawing serious institutional attention as the competitive landscape in premium athletic wear tightens considerably.
That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
