Prices of perishables surge for 5th week
A surge in prices of perishable commodities in the province has persisted for the fifth consecutive week, coupled with widespread overcharging that has pushed everyday vegetables out of reach for the average consumer. Hardly any vegetable is available below Rs200 per kilogramme, highlighting the severity of the price crisis. Rampant violations of official rate lists continue, showing that a newly formed price control department has failed to make any meaningful impact. This week, the price of live chicken rose by Rs15 per kg to Rs389-403, but sellers charged Rs450-480. Chicken meat was fixed at Rs584 per kg, but sold at Rs 620-670, while boneless chicken fetched Rs1,100-1,100. Potato soft skin A-grade was fixed at Rs80-85 but sold for Rs 140-150; B-grade was set at Rs65-70 and C-grade at Rs55-60, with mixed varieties selling for Rs120-130. Sugar-free A-grade potatoes were fixed at Rs55-60, B-grade at Rs45-50, and C-grade at Rs35-40, though mixed were sold at Rs100-120. Onions remained unchanged officially at Rs45-50 per kg for A-grade, but were sold at Rs80-100. B-grade sold for Rs35-40 and C-grade for Rs26-30, while mixed went for Rs60-70. Tomatoes saw another increase of Rs5 per kg, officially set at Rs86-95 but sold at Rs150-160. B-grade was fixed at Rs75-80 and C-grade at Rs70-75, while mixed quality tomatoes went for Rs120-130. Only one variety of apple was fixed at Rs150-225 but sold at Rs200-350. A-category bananas rose Rs5 per dozen to Rs 92-215 but were sold at Rs 250-300. B-category bananas were fixed at Rs 34-150, sold at Rs200-230, while C-category was fixed at Rs90-100 but sold at Rs150-180. Dates increased by Rs10 to Rs460-490 but sold between Rs900 and Rs2,000. Papaya dropped Rs55 to Rs305-320 but wasn't available in the market. Cantaloupe declined by Rs20 to Rs134-140 but sold at Rs150-200. Peach fell by Rs35, fixed at Rs180-275 but sold at Rs250-400.

US, China to resume tariff talks in effort to extend truce
US and Chinese flags and a "tariffs" label are seen in this illustration created on April 10, 2025. Photo: Reuters Listen to article Senior US and Chinese negotiators meet in Stockholm on Monday to tackle longstanding economic disputes at the centre of the countries' trade war, aiming to extend a truce keeping sharply higher tariffs at bay. China is facing an August 12 deadline to reach a durable tariff agreement with President Donald Trump's administration, after Beijing and Washington reached a preliminary deal in June to end weeks of escalating tit-for-tat tariffs. Without an agreement, global supply chains could face renewed turmoil from duties exceeding 100%. The Stockholm talks, led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, take place a day after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen meets Trump at his golf course in Scotland to try to clinch a deal that would likely see a 15% baseline tariff on most EU goods. Also Read: Israel announces daily pauses in Gaza fighting as aid airdrops begin Trade analysts on both sides of the Pacific say the discussions in the Swedish capital are unlikely to produce any breakthroughs but could prevent further escalation and help create conditions for Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to meet later this year. Previous US-China trade talks in Geneva and London in May and June focused on bringing US and Chinese retaliatory tariffs down from triple-digit levels and restoring the flow of rare earth minerals halted by China and Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab H20 AI chips and other goods halted by the United States. So far, the talks have not delved into broader economic issues. They include US complaints that China's state-led, export-driven model is flooding world markets with cheap goods, and Beijing's complaints that US national security export controls on tech goods seek to stunt Chinese growth. "Stockholm will be the first meaningful round of US-China trade talks," said Bo Zhengyuan, Shanghai-based partner at China consultancy firm Plenum. Trump has been successful in pressuring some other trading partners, including Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines, into deals accepting higher US tariffs of 15% to 20%. He said there was a 50-50 chance that the US and the 27-member European Union could also reach a framework trade pact, adding that Brussels wanted to "make a deal very badly". Read: Six killed, scores injured in Indian temple stampede Two of Trump's top trade officials, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, will attend the Scotland talks and then travel to Stockholm. Analysts say the US-China negotiations are far more complex and will require more time. China's grip on the global market for rare earth minerals and magnets, used in everything from military hardware to car windshield wiper motors, has proved to be an effective leverage point on US industries. Trump-Xi meeting? In the background of the talks is speculation about a possible meeting between Trump and Xi in late October. Trump has said he will decide soon whether to visit China in a landmark trip to address trade and security tensions. A new flare-up of tariffs and export controls would likely derail any plans for a meeting with Xi. "The Stockholm meeting is an opportunity to start laying the groundwork for a Trump visit to China," said Wendy Cutler, vice president at the Asia Society Policy Institute. Bessent has already said he wants to work out an extension of the August 12 deadline to prevent tariffs snapping back to 145% on the US side and 125% on the Chinese side. Still, China will likely request a reduction of multi-layered US tariffs totaling 55% on most goods and further easing of US high-tech export controls, analysts said. Beijing has argued that such purchases would help reduce the US trade deficit with China, which reached $295.5 billion in 2024. Also Read: Drone debris disrupts trains, suspends flights in Volgograd China is currently facing a 20% tariff related to the US fentanyl crisis, a 10% reciprocal tariff, and 25% duties on most industrial goods imposed during Trump's first term. Bessent has also said he would discuss with He the need for China to rebalance its economy away from exports toward domestic consumer demand. The shift would require China to put an end to a protracted property crisis and boost social safety nets to encourage household spending. Michael Froman, a former US trade representative during Barack Obama's administration, said such a shift has been a goal of US policymakers for two decades. "Can we effectively use tariffs to get China to fundamentally change their economic strategy? That remains to be seen," said Froman, now president of the Council on Foreign Relations think-tank.
