Recent readings show China's CPI rising at a subdued 0.9 percent pace through July 2026, with the July print easing to 0.5 percent year-on-year amid softer non-food prices and persistent food deflation. Weak household demand, ample manufacturing capacity, and a lingering property-sector drag continue to limit broad-based price pressures, while earlier energy-driven imported inflation from Middle East supply issues has begun to moderate. Official statements and forecasters project a full-year rate near 0.8 percent under base-case assumptions, supported by pro-consumption measures but constrained by soft domestic activity. This environment positions the 0.6–1.0 percent range as the consensus outcome among traders, with narrower bands reflecting downside risks from sustained demand weakness and upside limited by fading external cost pressures.
