The cumulative value of China's consumer goods PPI for the second quarter of 2026 (as of April) stood at 98.7, equivalent to a year-on-year decrease of 1.3%, narrowing slightly from the previous value of 98.6 (down 1.4% YoY). Although the overall PPI turned positive driven by raw materials, the consumer goods segment remains constrained by overcapacity and sluggish domestic demand, highlighting weak pricing power in end-consumer markets.
