* China's consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.5 percent year-on-year in July , beating forecasts, mainly due to soaring pork prices, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

Pork prices, a popular food in the Northeast Asian country, rose 20.4% in July from a year earlier, the biggest increase since December 2022.

Pork prices play an important role in China's consumer price index, but are vulnerable to factors such as disease outbreaks or changes in production.
