The latest reading of China's services CPI for Q3 (July) 2026 reported at 100.4, equivalent to a 0.4% month-on-month increase, significantly recovering from the previous value of 100.0 (0.0% MoM) and returning to the expansion zone. In an environment of generally weak domestic demand and unresolved commodity deflationary pressures, the summer travel wave and rigid demands such as healthcare have become the main forces supporting the mild rise in the overall CPI. Looking ahead, the market is closely watching official consumption stimulus policies to prevent price momentum from stalling after the end of the peak season.
