Highlights:

  • June PPI year-on-year eases to 15-month low
  • June CPI year-on-year rose to 23-month high

China's factory-gate inflation cooled in June to the lowest in 15 months as the country continues to buck the global trend of accelerating prices.

The producer price index (PPI) rose 6.1% year-on-year, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said on Saturday, after a 6.4% rise in May. Analysts had expected an increase in the PPI rate of 6.0% in a Reuters poll.

The slower rise in the PPI was driven by the resumption of additional industrial production, stable supply chains in key sectors and government policies to stabilise commodity prices, NBS official Dong Lijuan said in a separate statement.

Inflation in the ferrous metal mining and processing industry decreased the most, while producer prices for the oil and gas extraction industry rose the most, according to NBS.

The falling factory-gate inflation reflects easing cost pressure on the middle and downstream manufacturers, Zhou Maohua, an analyst at China Everbright Bank, said in a note.

China's producer inflation has cooled for six consecutive months. That contrasts sharply with soaring global inflation that has prompted major central banks in the rest of the world to raise interest rates.

The consumer inflation rate in the world's second-largest economy increased by the highest in nearly two years though it remained within the country's target of an around 3% rise.

The pickup in consumer inflation follows a surge in fuel prices and suggests policymakers will need to keep a close watch on any persistent cost pressures amid the global surge in prices.

The consumer price index (CPI) increased 2.5% from a year earlier, widening from a 2.1% gain in May and the highest in 23 months. In a Reuters poll, the CPI was expected to rise 2.4%.

The CPI stayed flat month-on-month, after the 0.2% drop in May, beating the 0.1% decline in a Reuters poll.

Vehicle fuel prices soared 32.8% in June, the NBS said.

"China will continue to face the dual pressure of structural inflation and imported inflation. The slow recovery of domestic demand will also raise up the headline consumer inflation," said Ying Xiwen, a senior analyst at Minsheng Bank.

Overall, CPI is expected to rise moderately and very likely to surpass 3% in the second half of the year, but the whole year average level will still be within the annual target, Ying said.

China's economy has showed some signs of recovery in recent months after a sharp Covid-induced slump because of extensive lockdowns in cities including the commercial hub Shanghai.

However, headwinds to growth persist, including worries of any recurring waves of Covid infections. Some areas have recently reported flare-ups in cases, which could slow or even stymie a recovery. 

In order to boost the flagging economy, China will issue 2023 advance quota for local government special bonds in the fourth quarter, with the new quota likely bigger than 1.46 trillion yuan ($218.09 billion) for 2022, sources have told Reuters. 

In late June, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) Governor Yi Gang pledged to keep monetary policy accommodative to support an economic recovery.

"Monetary policy faces constraints such as aggressive Fed hikes and rising inflation concerns and appears to be switching from a crisis mode into a wait-and-see mode. Looking ahead, we think the PBOC would be careful and data-dependent in calibrating its stimulus," Citi analysts said in a note.
