Polymarket traders price a 37.5% implied probability on China’s 2026 annual CPI inflation falling in the 0.6–1.0% range, reflecting March 2026 year-over-year CPI easing to 1.0%—below the 1.2% consensus—from February’s 1.3% three-year high driven by Lunar New Year spending. This consensus aligns with economist forecasts like Goldman Sachs’ 0.8% full-year projection and Focus Economics’ 0.6% median, amid persistent deflation risks from weak consumer demand, property sector drag, and excess capacity, despite PPI turning positive at 0.5% YoY for the first time since 2022 on higher global oil prices. Beijing’s 4.5–5% GDP target and vows for proactive stimulus temper upside, with April CPI due late May as the next catalyst.
