Shanghai Lianjia data: June resale transactions 25,000 units, up nearly 20% YoY; 1H total 140,000 units, up 12% YoY. Price index has been steadily rebounding over the past six months and is about 8% higher than at end‑2025. Lianjia said the March policy rollout coincided with concentrated release of rigid demand; resale homes priced below 3 mln yuan accounted for roughly 60% of transactions. In June the 3–5 mln yuan segment’s share rose about 13% versus March and the 5–8 mln yuan segment’s share rose about 17% versus March.

Bank of England MPC member Mann said in June cost-push inflationary pressures were being offset by domestically oriented financial tightening.
