7月10日的官方数据显示，中国6月份居民消费价格指数（CPI）小幅上涨，而工业生产者出厂价格指数（PPI）的年度跌幅有所放缓。

The country's consumer price index, a main gauge of inflation, rose by 0.2 percent year-on-year in June after a 0.3 percent rise in May, the National Bureau of Statistics said.

国家统计局表示，衡量通货膨胀的主要指标——CPI继5月份上涨0.3%之后，6月份同比上涨0.2%。

Within the CPI, food prices dropped 2.1 percent year-on-year in June versus a 2 percent annual contraction in May. Notably, the price of fresh vegetables declined 7.3 percent in June, following a 2.3 percent rise in May. Pork, a staple in Chinese cuisine, saw prices go up by 18.1 percent in June after a 4.6 percent growth in May. 

6月份食品价格同比下降2.1%，而5月份同比降低2%；继5月份上涨2.3%之后，6月份新鲜蔬菜价格下降了7.3%。猪肉作为家庭主菜，在5月份增长4.6%之后，其6月份价格上涨了18.1%。
