India, July 9 -- China's consumer price inflation softened in June, while producer price inflation accelerated to the highest in nearly four years on elevated energy prices, official data showed Thursday.
Consumer price inflation eased to 1.0 percent in June from 1.2 percent in May, the National Bureau of Statistics said. Prices were expected to rise 1.1 percent.
The decline was driven by the fall in food prices. Food prices dropped 1.6 percent largely due to the sharp decrease in pork prices. At the same time, non-food prices rose at a slower pace of 1.5 percent.
