CPI inflation climbed into the green for the first time since January, although producer prices remain in deflationary territory.<\/h2>\n
\n

China\u2019s consumer-price index rose by 0.1% in June year-on-year, from a fall of 0.1% in May, putting an end to four months of decline.<\/p>\n

By subcategory, food prices remained in negative territory at -0.3%, non-food prices rose by 0.1%, and food, tobacco and alcohol rose by 0.1% year-on-year.<\/p>\n

The price of transportation and communication, meanwhile, fell by 3.7%, and the price of \u201cother supplies and services\u201d rose by a dramatic 8.1%.<\/p>\n

Subcategories such as clothing and ”education, culture & entertainment” rose by 1.6% and 1.0% respectively.<\/p>\n

Despite an uptick in CPI, the country\u2019s producer-price index fell 3.6% year-on-year, widening from May\u2019s 3.3% decline. That marks the 33rd straight month of falling prices and a 23-month low.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cDeflation remains a concern\u201d in China, said Lynn Song, Chief Economist for Greater China with ING.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the main reasons is a contractionary cycle featuring heavy price competition as well as pay freezes and pay cuts,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolicymakers, though, recently shifted attention toward addressing the problem, with an eye on improving market exit mechanisms, encouraging consolidation and restructuring, and addressing non-market practices resulting in excessive price competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

ING predicts a rate cut from the People\u2019s Bank of China in the fourth quarter of this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
