The national wholesale average price of 28 vegetables increased by over 20% year-on-year
On July 1st, data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs showed that vegetable prices in June increased both month on month and year on year due to adverse weather conditions. In June, the national wholesale average price of 28 vegetables monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was 4.99 yuan per kilogram, a month on month increase of 3.3% and a year-on-year increase of 22.9%. Experts say that due to the higher field area of vegetables in China this summer compared to the same period last year, and the large number of cold vegetables in northern production areas being launched, vegetable prices across the country began to recover from a seasonal downward trend in late June. However, in the future, vegetable prices will continue to fluctuate with increasing high temperatures and rainy weather.

The cooling rate of second-hand housing prices is greater than that of new houses.

Although the transaction volume in some key cities has increased month on month, the overall market performance is still relatively weak. In terms of second-hand housing, the scale of listings in some cities continues to reach new highs, and the expectations of homeowners for prices have further weakened, putting pressure on second-hand housing prices.

High temperatures give rise to a summer tourism boom
The hottest Dragon Boat Festival once again ignited tourism enthusiasm and further catalyzed the collective rebound of the A-share tourism sector. Among them, the theme of "summer vacation+famous mountains" represented by Changbai Mountain led the two-day limit up, undoubtedly adding a touch of heat to the chaotic and adjusted market. However, after the company issued a stock price change and clarification announcement, the stock price of Changbai Mountain rebounded after June 28th.
In the eyes of professionals, the tourism industry of the Dragon Boat Festival has come to a hot end. With the arrival of summer, the night economy has become a highlight of the cultural and tourism consumption market during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Outbound tourism is steadily recovering, and the summer will accelerate the release of travel demand. Especially with the continued impressive performance of famous mountains and rivers, on the one hand, due to the limited elasticity of price increases after the ticket reform policy, and on the other hand, the cautious opening of inbound and outbound flight schedules has constrained passenger flow. In addition, after the epidemic, families with children traveling by themselves have increased, and scenic areas with convenient transportation have benefited more. The upcoming longest summer vacation for students is expected to give rise to a new wave of summer vacation.
