Analysts polled by Reuters had expected a slight pickup in the consumer price index to 0.3% in July from a year ago, versus 0.2% in June. The producer price index for July fell by 0.8% from a year ago. That was slightly less than the 0.9% forecast decline, and unchanged from June’s 0.8% drop. China on Wednesday reported imports rose by a stronger-than-expected 7.2% in July from a year ago, while exports missed forecasts with 7% growth. Exports have otherwise been a bright spot amid slower economic growth. Retail sales grew by a muted 2% in June from a year ago. Authorities have since expanded a trade-in program in an effort to boost consumer purchases of cars, home appliances and certain other products. China is due to report retail sales, industrial production and other data for July on Thursday. This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.
