Maryam Behmard on China's CPI
China's inflation hits a four-month high as Beijing walks the line between mini-stimulus and mounting debt.
In this segment
- CPI rises to 2.5% on a 4% jump in food prices - still well under the 3.5% target.
- Producer prices fall 1.4%: a 27th consecutive month of factory-gate deflation.
- Targeted 'mini-stimulus' steers liquidity toward railways and construction.
- Small, targeted measures unlikely to reshape the broader recovery.
