Here is Bloomberg’s summary of the inflation data out of China today:

  • China’s inflation stayed subdued
  • Factory-gate (this refers to the PPI) prices fell for a 17th month
  • The data gives Premier Li Keqiang more room to boost stimulus should an economic slowdown deepen

The reports reflect a growth deceleration that’s left the world’s second-largest economy poised for the weakest expansion in 23 years
