Chinese consumer prices rise 1.6% on year, below the 2.0% pace of August and expectations for a decline to 1.7%, with the reading the lowest seen since January 2010. Ex-food prices rose 1.3%, the slowest pace of growth since April 2010. Food inflation, usually the greatest source of inflation, rose 2.3%, the equal-lowest level since October 2012. Producer prices fall 1.8% from a year earlier, a result again below forecasts for a drop of 1.6%. Plenty of room to implement stimulus, if indeed authorities deem it necessary. (VIEW LINK)
