AI Data Insight

The latest China CPI for the third quarter of 2026 reached 104.4506, climbing further from the previous value of 104.2495. This translates to a year-on-year growth rate of 0.9%, slightly lower than the market consensus of 1.0%. Data indicates that inflation was primarily supported by energy and industrial product prices, experiencing a mild upward trend for two consecutive months. Moving forward, continuous attention is required on the dragging effect of food prices, as well as the impact of domestic demand expansion policies on boosting end-use consumption.
