China`s CPI down to 0.8%

China`s consumer price index (CPI) dropped to 0.8% in January, and producer prices decelerated to the lowest level in five years. The tumble in commodity prices have pushed the inflation down while raising real interest rates.

Bloomberg mentioned that this signals more room for monetary easing.
