　　中国7月份通胀继续提速，消费价格同比上涨6.5%，涨幅高于6月份的6.4%，是自2008年6月份以来涨幅最大的一次。

　　中国国家统计局周二发布的数据显示，波动较大、且政治上较为敏感的食品价格，是物价上涨的主因。7月份食品价格同比大涨14.8%，高于6月份时的14.4%。

　　But despite the acceleration most economists expect inflation to have peaked in July and to gradually moderate from now until the end of the year.

　　“The encouraging thing about today’s data are that headline CPI inflation is up only slightly this month after a big jump higher last month,” said Brian Jackson, an analyst at Royal Bank of Canada in Hong Kong. “We think inflation is close to a peak and will head lower later in the year as base effects turn favourable and the impact of previous policy measures kicks in”.

　　“今天数据中令人鼓舞的一点是：在上个月的大幅上涨之后，本月总体消费者物价指数(CPI)涨幅仅略有加大，”加拿大皇家银行(RBC)驻香港的经济学家布赖恩?杰克逊(Brian Jackson)说。“我们认为，通胀已接近见顶，随着基数效应开始发挥作用以及先前的政策措施生效，在今年后几个月中通胀将逐渐走低。”
