Meanwhile the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose only 1.0%, missing the 1.1% forecast, showing domestic consumer demand remains soft."},"source_url":"https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/09/china-cpi-ppi-june-inflation-iran-war-.html","occurred_at":"2026-07-09T16:03:46.596+00:00","published_at":"2026-07-09T16:03:46.596+00:00","brief_url":"https://vectorialdata.com/economia/2026-07-09-cn-china-cpi-ppi-june-2026/brief.md","page_url":"https://vectorialdata.com/economia/2026-07-09-cn-china-cpi-ppi-june-2026","json_ld":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Dataset","name":"China CPI & PPI (June 2026) — 2026-07-09","description":"China PPI jumps 4.1% YoY (near 4-year high) while CPI rises just 1.0%","creator":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Vectorial Data","url":"https://vectorialdata.com"},"license":"https://vectorialdata.com/terms","variableMeasured":"China CPI & PPI (June 2026) (% YoY)","temporalCoverage":"2026-07-09","isAccessibleForFree":true,"distribution":[{"@type":"DataDownload","encodingFormat":"application/json","contentUrl":"https://vectorialdata.com/api/economic-events/2026-07-09-cn-china-cpi-ppi-june-2026"},{"@type":"DataDownload","encodingFormat":"text/markdown","contentUrl":"https://vectorialdata.com/economia/2026-07-09-cn-china-cpi-ppi-june-2026/brief.md"}]},"disclaimer":"Vectorial Economía is descriptive educational information about macro data.
