China’s consumer price index rose 0.7% year over year in October, below forecasts and September’s 0.9% increase, while the producer price index accelerated to 5.7%. Rising commodity and energy costs contributed to the higher producer inflation, in contrast with subdued consumer prices.
Weak consumer inflation signals subdued domestic demand, while higher industrial input costs could squeeze manufacturers; no direct feed-commodity supply change is reported.
