发帖数: 1619 | 1 BEIJING -- A doubling of pork prices last month sent Chinese consumer
inflation to its highest level in nearly eight years, constraining Beijing's
ability to stimulate the economy as growth continues to slow.
China's consumer-price index rose 3.8% in October from a year earlier, the
National Bureau of Statistics said Saturday -- higher than a median forecast
of 3.5% by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal, and far outpacing
September's 3.0% reading.
As it has all year, October's jump in consumer inflation was fueled by a
rise in hog prices, the fastest on record, amid an outbreak of the deadly
African swine fever.
Soaring pork prices lifted overall food-price inflation to a more-than-11
year high, as consumer demand drove up prices for pork alternatives
including eggs and other meat products.
Even as the surge in food prices limits Chinese policy makers' stimulus
options, prices of nonfood items and factory-gate prices continued to show
signs of softness, pointing to weakening demand in the world's second-
largest economy. Nonfood price inflation moderated further to 0.9% in
October, from 1.0% in September.
China's producer-price index dropped deeper into deflationary territory in
October, falling 1.6% in October from a year earlier, more than economists'
median forecast of a 1.5% decline. Producer prices fell 1.2% in September
from a year earlier. | b***y
