On September 10, 2025, China’s National Bureau of Statistics released the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for September. The reported figure was -0.4%, with no forecast available; the previous value was also -0.4%.Definition: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures changes in the prices of goods and services related to household consumption, serving as a key indicator for tracking inflation. Inflation data is a major determinant of central bank monetary policy. If inflation rises sharply, the People’s Bank of China may implement tightening measures, which could negatively impact economic growth. Additionally, as China is Australia’s largest trading partner, an economic slowdown in China could affect Australian exports. Therefore, higher inflation in China tends to exert downward pressure on the Australian dollar.This data carries an importance rating of 3. It is calculated based on changes in prices paid by consumers for goods and services, and is published monthly. The next release is scheduled for November 9, 2025.
