According to the latest data from DataTrack, China's cumulative year-on-year index for the means of production PPI in Q2 2026 jumped to 100.7, turning significantly positive compared to 99.7 in Q1 2026 and ending the long-term gloom of recession. This strong rebound was primarily driven by rising international commodity prices and the effectiveness of domestic capacity governance.
