China's Producer Inflation Slows to Three-Month Low as Consumer Prices Cool
China's producer price inflation slowed to a three-month low of 3.5% in July, down from 4.1% in June, while consumer inflation also cooled, reflecting weaker domestic demand. Official data showed this easing was more than economists expected. Chinese leaders have pledged to boost growth by accelerating fiscal spending on infrastructure projects through the end of the year. Experts note that while some sectors maintain strong profits, many manufacturers face pressure from sluggish demand and rising input costs.
