The desk anticipates that the moderate inflation trajectory in China will not impede a potential rate cut by the PBoC, as supported by June's CPI easing to 1.0% year-on-year. This data reflects a continued trend of subdued domestic inflation despite rising PPI pressures, suggesting the central bank maintains room for monetary easing. Per the full note from ING, non-food inflation has significantly contributed to the slowdown, with transportation costs dropping notably. Such economic indicators point to a potential shift towards stimulus as the PBoC seeks to invigorate growth amidst persistent deflationary pressures in food prices.
