China's latest Corporate Goods Price Index (CGPI) for September 2026 (Q3 2026) reached a year-on-year growth rate of 3.7%, a significant increase from the previous 2.7%, indicating that price pressures on the corporate end continue to expand. Although external searches show China's official PPI for the same period was 3.8%, based on the given authoritative data, the 3.7% still hit a recent periodic high. The sharp rise in mining and raw material costs is the primary driving factor. Going forward, attention should be paid to whether end-consumer demand can support this wave of upstream cost pass-through.
