China’s producer prices increased 4.1% year-on-year in June 2026, accelerating from a 3.9% rise in the previous month and matching market forecasts. It was the fourth consecutive monthly increase and the steepest pace since July 2022, driven by firmer commodity prices and rising production costs as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continued to underpin global energy and raw material markets. Production material costs quickened (5.5% vs 5.2% in May), led by further increases in mining (16.5% vs 15.8%), raw materials (8.6% vs 9.2%), and processing (3.0% vs 2.3%). Meanwhile, a decline in consumer goods prices persisted (-0.9% vs -0.8%), as costs continued to fall for food prices (-2.1% vs -1.8%), clothing (-1.0% vs -1.0%), and daily-use goods (-1.0% vs -1.0%), while durable goods prices were subdued (0.1% vs flat reading). For the first six months of the year, PPI fell 0.3%, reversing a 1.5% growth in May, due to seasonal factors and easing crude oil prices. source: National Bureau of Statistics of China
