CHINA PRESS: Negative CPI Expected In July

Aug-05 01:50

China’s CPI is expected to reach 0.16% m/m in July, but fall to -0.45% y/y due to base effects, according to Ming Ming, chief economist at CITIC Securities. According to a CICC report, July’s CPI is anticipated to hit -0.2% y/y, weakening from 0.1% in June due to declining food prices. A Huachuang Securities report predicts a 0.4% m/m drop in food prices, mainly due to increased seasonal supply of fruit and decreased egg consumption, affected by higher production and hot, rainy weather. Regarding PPI, Ming Ming said the anti-involution strategy had increased the prices of major industrial products like steel, coal, and non-ferrous metals. July’s PPI is expected to rise 0.18% m/m and -2.79% y/y. (Source: Securities Daily)
