BEIJING — China’s consumer price inflation rose by 0.2% in June from a year ago, missing expectations, while producer prices fell in-line with forecasts.

China’s consumer price index was expected to rise by 0.4% year-on-year in June, according to a poll by Reuters.

The producer price index, which measures factory-gate prices, dropped by 0.8% from a year ago — in line with expectations.

Lackluster domestic demand in China has kept inflation low, in contrast to major economies such as the U.S. where prices have remained elevated.
