China's National Bureau of Statistics said on a MoM basis in August fresh vegetable prices rose 5.5% (widening 4.2 ppt from July) after hot, rainy weather and seasonal replanting; egg prices swung from -2.1% to +2.4% MoM as summer laying-hen downtime reduced supply; pork rose 1.3% MoM amid fewer hog slaughters. The three items together pushed CPI MoM up about 0.12 percentage point.
