China Inflation Softens; Producer Price Inflation Accelerates

China's consumer price inflation softened in June, while producer price inflation accelerated to the highest in nearly four years on elevated energy prices. Consumer price inflation eased from 1.2% in May to 1.0% in June. The decline was caused by the fall in food prices. Food prices dropped 1.6% largely due to the sharp decrease in pork prices. At the same time, non-food prices rose at a slower pace of 1.5%.

Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, slowed from 1.1% in May to 1.0% in June. Monthly, consumer prices slid 0.3. Producer prices were up 4.1% year-on-year in June and up from 3.9% a month earlier. The rate of growth hit its strongest since July 2022. Producer prices dropped 0.3% from May. Price data shows that China is moving from near deflation to low positive inflation. 07/09/2026 - 02:34:00 (RTTNews)
