China's May CPI for food, tobacco, and liquor reported a MoM rate of -0.4%. Although marking three consecutive months of negative growth, the decline has narrowed significantly from the previous -1.6%. Amid ample supplies of fresh vegetables and pork, food prices remain the primary force suppressing overall CPI, though stocking demand ahead of the Dragon Boat Festival has helped narrow the drop.
