US EditionChina's consumer prices rise for first time in five months
CHINA, JUL 9 – China's consumer price index rose 0.1% in June, surpassing expectations amid ongoing deflation due to weak demand and industrial oversupply, officials said.

- Economists warn it is too early to declare deflation over, noting sluggish domestic spending and weakening property sector momentum despite Beijing's 5 percent growth target.
- The data suggest early signs of economic recovery but also highlight ongoing challenges from tariffs and cautious consumer behavior affecting growth prospects.
