China's export price index for April 2026 jumped significantly to 108.9 from 98.1 in the previous month, breaking through the 100-point boom-or-bust line in one fell swoop and ending its recent hover at low levels.

The latest trends indicate that China's foreign trade momentum is undergoing a structural shift from "volume growth" to "price increases."
