India, June 9 -- China will on Wednesday release May figures for consumer and producer prices, highlighting a light day for Asia-Pacific economic activity.

Inflation is expected to rise 1.3 percent on year, up from 1.2 percent in April; producer prices are seen higher by an annual 3.8 percent, up from 2.8 percent in the previous month.

Japan will provide May data for producer prices, with forecasts suggesting an increase of 0.5 percent on month and 5.7 percent on year. That follows the 2.3 percent monthly increase and the 4.9 percent annual gain in April.
