China's factory-gate prices edged up in November for the first time in six months, adding to signs that recent stimulus measures have bolstered industrial demand, though consumer inflation remained sluggish, officials and analysts said on Monday.
官员和分析师在周一表示,尽管消费者通胀仍然疲软,中国工厂出厂价格在11月份六个月内首次出现上升,近期刺激措施已经显示出提振工业需求的迹象。
Going forward, bolder-than-expected interest rate cuts may consolidate the fledgling demand recovery while a near-term cut in banks' reserve requirement ratio is likely, analysts said, as a top-level meeting called for "moderately loose" monetary policy for the first time since the 2007-09 global financial crisis.
展望未来,超出预期的利率削减可能巩固初步的需求复苏,而短期内降低银行存款准备金率的可能性也很大。分析师表示,自2007-09年全球金融危机以来,高层会议首次呼吁实行“适度宽松”的货币政策。
China's producer price index — which measures factory-gate prices — rose by 0.1 percent month-on-month in November, compared with a 0.1 percent drop in October, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Monday.
国家统计局在周一发布的信息显示,衡量工厂出厂价格的指标——中国的生产者价格指数11月环比上涨0.1%,相比之下,10月份则是下降0.1%。
November's rise, albeit modest, marked the first positive reading since May, when the PPI rose 0.2 percent.
尽管11月份的增长幅度不大,但这却是自5月以来的首次正增长,当时PPI上涨了0.2%。
