Group 1: Report Title and General Information - The report is titled "Industrial Consumer Goods Drive Moderate Price Recovery - December 2025 CPI and PPI Review" [1] - The report was published on January 11, 2026 [10] Group 2: Report Highlights and Core Views - In December 2025, domestic prices improved unexpectedly supported by imported factors and pre - holiday consumption. Core CPI year - on - year growth remained at 1.2%, and the year - on - year decline of PPI narrowed [2] - In 2026, food CPI may still be dragged down by pig prices in the first half of the year, but the service sector is resilient, and the industrial consumer goods sector is supported by the "anti - involution" policy and the international metal price increase cycle. With the low - base effect, prices may continue a moderate recovery. It is neutrally expected that the year - on - year growth rate of PPI will turn positive in the fourth quarter [2] - This year, the bond market may operate in an environment of moderate price recovery. The long - term bond is expected to fluctuate weakly, with the 10 - year Treasury yield expected to fluctuate between 1.8% - 1.9%. The bond market's periodic recovery opportunity may come in the second half of the first quarter [2] Group 3: December 2025 Price Data - In December 2025, CPI rose 0.2% month - on - month and 0.8% year - on - year, with the year - on - year increase expanding by 0.1 percentage points compared with the previous month. Core CPI rose 1.2% year - on - year [7] - In December 2025, PPI rose 0.2% month - on - month and fell 1.9% year - on - year, with the year - on - year decline narrowing by 0.3 percentage points compared with the previous month [7] Group 4: Factors Affecting CPI Core CPI - Industrial consumer goods are the main support for core CPI, while service prices are stable. In December 2025, the year - on - year growth rate of core CPI remained at 1.2% for three consecutive months [11] - The year - on - year growth rate of industrial consumer goods (excluding energy) prices increased to 2.5% for six consecutive months, driving the year - on - year increase of CPI by about 0.63 percentage points. Gold jewelry prices rose 5.6% month - on - month due to rising international gold prices; copper and memory price increases drove household appliances and communication tools to rise 1.4% and 3% month - on - month respectively; the price decline of fuel cars and new - energy cars narrowed to 2.4% and 2.2% year - on - year respectively [11] - Service prices improved steadily, with the year - on - year growth rate slightly falling 0.1 percentage points to 0.6%. Among them, the month - on - month prices of household services and medical services were still stronger than the seasonal average [11] Overall CPI - The increase in food prices drove CPI to continue rising, while energy prices still dragged down CPI. In December 2025, CPI was stronger than the seasonal average month - on - month, and the year - on - year increase expanded by 0.1 percentage points to 0.8%, reaching the highest level since March 2023 [11] - Food prices rose 1.1% year - on - year, with the increase expanding by 0.9 percentage points compared with the previous month, driving the year - on - year increase of CPI by about 0.21 percentage points. Pre - holiday consumption demand pushed up the prices of fresh fruits and shrimps and crabs by 2.6% and 2.5% respectively. The drag of pork and egg prices on the year - on - year CPI decreased, but pig prices may remain low in the first half of this year [11] - Energy prices fell 3.8% year - on - year, with the decline expanding by 0.4 percentage points compared with the previous month. Affected by international oil price changes, domestic gasoline prices fell 1.2% month - on - month, and the year - on - year decline expanded to 8.4% [11] Group 5: Factors Affecting PPI - The continuous implementation of the "anti - involution" policy and the increase in international non - ferrous metal prices drove the month - on - month increase of PPI for three consecutive months, and the year - on - year decline narrowed. In December 2025, the month - on - month growth rate of PPI rebounded for three consecutive months, with the increase expanding by 0.1 percentage points to 0.2%. The year - on - year decline of PPI also narrowed by 0.3 percentage points to - 1.9% [11] - The year - on - year declines of both living materials and production materials narrowed. Production materials rose 0.3% month - on - month, while living materials remained flat month - on - month [11] - With the implementation of the "anti - involution" measures, the supply - demand structure of some industries improved, and the year - on - year price declines of the coal mining and washing, lithium - ion battery manufacturing, and photovoltaic industries narrowed [11] - The increase in international non - ferrous metal prices drove the prices of non - ferrous metal mining and dressing and non - ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industries to rise 3.7% and 2.8% month - on - month respectively, with the increases expanding by 1.1 and 0.7 percentage points compared with the previous month [11] Group 6: Upstream and Downstream Price Trends - The prices of upstream mining industries continued to rise, while the prices of mid - and downstream industries were stable. The price game may have been transmitted to the downstream. The substantial implementation of the "anti - involution" policy drove the continuous price recovery of industries such as coal and photovoltaic, but some key industries for capacity management did not improve significantly [11] - Among upstream industries, the prices of coal mining and washing and non - ferrous metal mining and dressing increased for many months, while the year - on - year price growth rates of industries such as petroleum, coal and other fuel processing (- 7.9%) and non - metallic mineral products (- 6.8%) were still declining [11] - The month - on - month price growth rates of industries such as general equipment manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing were basically flat or fluctuated slightly, and the upstream prices of most industries had not been smoothly transmitted to the mid - and downstream raw material processing and manufacturing industries [11] Group 7: Future Outlook - In 2026, food CPI may still be dragged down by pig prices in the first half of the year, but the service sector is resilient, and the industrial consumer goods sector is supported by the "anti - involution" policy and the international metal price increase cycle. With the low - base effect, prices may continue a moderate recovery. It is neutrally expected that the year - on - year growth rate of PPI will turn positive in the fourth quarter [11] - This year, the bond market may operate in an environment of moderate price recovery. The long - term bond is expected to fluctuate weakly, with the 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury yields expected to adjust to around 1.9% and 2.4% respectively. The bond market's periodic recovery opportunity may come in the second half of the first quarter [11]
