China’s September CPI Rises to 0.9% Y/Y; PPI Accelerates
In September 2026, China reported a year-over-year increase of 0.9% in its consumer price index (CPI), up from 0.8% the previous month and marking the highest level since June. The reading fell slightly short of market expectations for a 1.0% rise but still showed signs of inflationary pressure, particularly as it was higher than recent months' figures. On a monthly basis, consumer prices increased by only 0.2%, down from August’s stronger gain of 0.4%. This suggests that while annual CPI is showing some upward momentum, the pace of price increases has slowed in the short term.
