How Producer Inflation Is Reshaping the Trade Deficit

China's producer inflation just hit a near four-year high, and that's changing what US and European companies pay for imported goods. Lucas and Luna break down why the trade deficit is widening even as exports rise, using the latest May data showing a $77.6 billion deficit. They explore how Chinese factory-gate prices affect everything from electronics to construction materials, and what this means for the balance of payments. Plus, a look at how the dollar-yen at 162 is complicating the picture for American firms sourcing from Japan.
