Latest data shows that China's Q3 2026 (August) services CPI indicator fell to 99.8, turning from the previous value of 100.1 to a MoM decline of 0.2%. The drop was mainly driven by a significant pullback in airfare and accommodation prices following the end of the summer holidays. Experts point out that current inflation remains mild, which will leave operating room for further official policy easing.
