PBOC Finds Consumer Mood Is Turning Darker Even as Economy Grows

PBOC Finds Consumer Mood Is Turning Darker Even as Economy Grows

Bloomberg29-07-2025
Chinese households became more pessimistic last quarter and their view of the jobs market fell to the worst ever, according to a survey by the central bank, a worry for an economy that risks a slowdown ahead after growing faster than the government's target for much of this year.
Consumers turned increasingly negative about income, employment, and prices in April-June, the poll showed. The release of the survey results has become unpredictable in recent years, with the data for the first and second quarters published at the same time on Friday instead of at a regular interval as in the past.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2025 Revenues Total revenues were RMB27,431 million (US$3,829 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 0.9% from RMB27,671 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 24.6% from RMB22,019 million for the first quarter of 2025. Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB22,916 million (US$3,199 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 2.2% from RMB22,433 million for the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of 20.0% from RMB19,096 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was mainly driven by higher sales volume of the Lynk & Co brand, partially offset by lower sales volume of the Zeekr brand. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly driven by sales growth resulting from the launch of new models during the second quarter of 2025. Revenues from other sales and services were RMB4,515 million (US$630 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 13.8% from RMB5,238 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 54.5% from RMB2,923 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a decrease in R&D revenue from related parties in the second quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to the increased overseas sales of battery packs and electric drives since May 2025. Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin Cost of revenues was RMB21,775 million (US$3,040 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 4.0% from RMB22,677 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 22.3% from RMB17,806 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to the ongoing vehicle cost-saving initiatives. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to the increased vehicle delivery volume. Gross profit was RMB5,656 million (US$789 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 13.3% from RMB4,994 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 34.3% from RMB4,213 million for the first quarter of 2025.

The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were primarily attributed to sustained cost-saving initiatives. Operating Expenses Research and development expenses were RMB2,146 million (US$300 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 42.9% from RMB3,760 million for the second quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 26.2% from RMB2,908 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly driven by economies of scale resulting from business integration, partially offset by expanded technological investments for vehicle models. Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB3,364 million (US$469 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 9.7% from RMB3,725 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 27.2% from RMB2,645 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was mainly driven by economies of scale generated following the Zeekr and Lynk & Co business integration. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily attributable to higher marketing and advertising expenses to support new vehicle model launches and sales growth. Income/(Loss) from Operations Income from operations was RMB285 million (US$39 million) for the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB2,269 million loss from operations in the second quarter of 2024 and RMB1,259 million loss from operations in the first quarter of 2025.

Asian shares are mixed after days of gains driven by hopes for US rate cuts

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Asian shares were mixed on Thursday after days of gains driven by hopes for lower U.S. interest rates, while U.S. futures slipped. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 fell 1.4% to 42,657.94 as investors sold to lock in recent gains that have taken the benchmark to all-time records. The Japanese yen rose against the dollar after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg that Japan was 'behind the curve' in monetary tightening. He was referring to the slow pace if increases in Japan's near-zero interest rates. Low interest rates tend to make the yen weaker against the dollar, giving Japanese exporters a cost advantage in overseas sales. The dollar fell to 146.55 Japanese yen early Thursday, down from 147.39 yen. The euro fell to $1.1703 from $1.1705. In Chinese markets, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index shed less than 0.1% to 25,597.85, while the Shanghai composite index gained 0.2% to 3,690.88. South Korea's Kospi slid 0.3% to 3,215.61, while Australia's S&P ASX 200 index added 0.5% to 8,871.80. Taiwan's TAIEX fell 0.4%, while India's Sensex edged 0.1% higher. 'Asian markets opened today like a party that ran out of champagne before midnight — the music still playing, but the dance floor thinning out,' Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. The futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down less than 0.1%. On Wednesday, U.S. stocks ticked higher, extending a global rally fueled by hopes the Federal Reserve will cut U.S. interest rates. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 6,466.58, coming off its latest all-time high. The Dow climbed 1% to 44,922.27, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.1% to its own record set the day before, closing at 21,713.14. Treasury yields eased in the bond market in anticipation that the Fed will cut its main interest rate for the first time this year at its next meeting in September. Lower rates can boost investment prices and the economy by making it cheaper for U.S. households and businesses to borrow to buy houses, cars or equipment, though they risk worsening inflation. Stocks of companies on Wall Street that could benefit most from lower interest rates helped lead the way. PulteGroup climbed 5.4%, and Lennar rose 5.2% as part of a broad rally for homebuilders and others in the housing industry. Lower rates could make mortgages cheaper to get, which could spur more buying. The cryptocurrency exchange company Bullish ended its debut day of trading after an initial public offering of more than $10 billion with a gain of nearly 84% to $68 a share. The hopes for lower interest rates are helping to drown out criticism that the U.S. stock market has broadly grown too expensive after its big leap since hitting a low in April. President Donald Trump has angrily been calling for cuts to help the economy, often insulting the Fed Chair Jerome Powell while doing so. But the Fed has hesitated of the possibility that Trump's sweeping higher tariffs could make inflation much worse. Fed officials have said they want to see more fresh data about inflation before moving. On Thursday, a report will show how bad inflation was at the wholesale level across the United States. Economists expect it to show inflation accelerated a touch to 2.4% in July from 2.3% in June. In other dealings early Thursday, U.S. benchmark crude rose 24 cents to $62.89 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, added 27 cents to $65.90 per barrel. ___ AP Business Writer Stan Choe contributed. Teresa Cerojano, The Associated Press
