Galaxy Securities anticipates that China's Producer Price Index (PPI) may approach its annual peak in July, though the transmission of price increases to consumers remains a challenge. The firm suggests that while geopolitical risks, particularly concerning oil prices, could cause short-term fluctuations, a substantial disruption to oil supply or transport is unlikely to sustain the upward pressure on petrochemicals and subsequently PPI. Furthermore, the widening gap between PPI and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicates that rising costs at the upstream level are not effectively being passed on to downstream consumers, limiting the overall upward momentum of industrial product prices.
