According to the latest data from DataTrack, the month-over-month (MoM) growth rate of China's PPI for consumer goods in August 2026 reached 0.1%. Although slightly slower than the 0.2% in July, it still maintained positive growth for two consecutive months. Despite market concerns about weak end-user consumption and the obstructed transmission of upstream price increases, durable consumer goods and promotional policies still played a supporting role. Whether the focus of future official policies can shift from the supply side to the demand side will be the key to determining price stabilization.
