China Inflation Rises 0.2% On Year In May
(RTTNews) - Consumer prices in China were up 0.2 percent on year in May, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Friday.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices fell 0.2 percent, missing expectations for a decline of 0.1 percent - which would have been unchanged from the April reading.
The NBS also said that producer prices dropped 4.6 percent on year, missing expectations for a decline of 4.0 percent following the 3.6 percent fall a month earlier.
