Consumer Price Index in China expanded by 0.2% last month against deflation while producer inflation deflated at a higher pace of 4.4% than expectations of 4.1%. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index is aiming to shift into the bullish range of 60.00-80.00. An occurrence of the same will trigger the upside momentum.
