China Producer Prices Fall Most Since 2023 as Deflation Lingers
China's producer prices fell the most in nearly two years, as the country's factory-gate deflation deepens and overshadows a modest improvement in consumer prices.
Factory deflation persisted into a 33rd month, with the producer price index falling 3.6% from a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said Wednesday. The decline was more than economists had expected and faster than May's 3.3% drop.
