NBS Expects No Change To June CPI, Weak Pork Prices - Yicai

CHINA PRESS

China’s National Bureau of Statistics expects June’s CPI data to remain unchanged from May’s 0.2% y/y increase, according to Yicai. The news outlet noted pork prices, a key component of CPI, have dragged down inflation this year as producers increased slaughter due to swine flu and faced lower than expected consumer demand. The NDRC began a new round of pork purchasing to increase national reserves and stabilise prices. Wu Chaoming, deputy director of the Caixin Research Institute, said CPI in June will remain below 1% y/y, reflecting insufficient domestic demand and slow recovery of household income.
