In Q3 2026, China's food contribution to the CPI further dropped to -0.2924 percentage points, widening its downward drag compared to the previous value of -0.2408 percentage points. Despite sluggish food prices, driven by climbing international oil prices and end-market AI demand, the overall CPI YoY growth rate reached 0.9%, slightly lower than the market consensus of 1.0%. In the short term, imported inflation and geopolitics will dominate price trends, while in the medium term, attention should be paid to whether official pro-consumption policies can boost domestic demand.
