China's consumer-price index increased by 0.1% in June after a decline in May, ending a four-month drop. Food prices fell by 0.3%, while non-food prices rose by 0.1%. Transportation and communication prices dropped by 3.7%, but 'other supplies and services' surged by 8.1%. Despite the CPI rise, the producer-price index fell by 3.6%, marking 33 months of decline. Concerns about deflation persist, prompting policymakers to focus on market improvements and potential rate cuts from the People's Bank of China.
