China's inflation slowed in January 2026, but core prices rose fastest in months, signaling stabilizing demand despite ongoing deflationary pressures.
China’s consumer price index rose 0.2% year-on-year in January 2026, slowing from December’s 0.8% increase and below the 0.4% forecast, driven by base effects from last year’s early Chinese New Year and a 5.0% drop in energy prices.
Core CPI rose 0.8%, easing from 1.2% in December but showing a 0.3% monthly gain—the fastest in nearly six months—suggesting improving underlying demand.
On the production side, the PPI fell 1.4% annually, narrowing from December’s 1.9% decline, with monthly prices rising for the fourth consecutive month, supported by stronger demand in AI-related sectors, a unified national market, and higher global commodity prices.
Deflation persists, but signs of stabilization emerge amid government efforts to boost domestic demand through targeted fiscal and monetary measures.
