"Official Inflation" everywhere is low. The next in the saga: China's inflation accelerated to 2.4% on year in March from 2% in February but came in below consensus of 2.5%. Factory-gate prices (PPI) dropped for the 25th consecutive month and fell 2.3%. "The lingering deflation trend in the PPI seems more worrying," says JPMorgan economist Haibin Zhu, "as it reflects structural overcapacity in a number of sectors as well as the cyclical downturn in the industrial sector." German inflation has slipped to its lowest level since August 2010, declining to 1% on year in March from 1.2% in February. Spanish CPI slipped 0.1% after dropping 0.2% a month earlier. The falling levels of CPI come amid fears about deflation in the eurozone, which has prompted the ECB to discuss unconventional policy measures such as quantitative easing.
