According to the latest data, China's Q3 2026 (September) CPI rose to 100.9 (up 0.9% YoY), a slight recovery from the previous value of 100.8 (up 0.8% YoY), but still below the market expectation of 1.0%. The current inflation is primarily driven by rising energy and services prices, while food prices continue to be a drag due to an oversupply of pork. Amid a stronger-than-expected surge in PPI, core inflation remains weak, highlighting that the real economy still requires further policy easing support.
