China's CPI fell to 1.7%
China's consumer inflation, which has stayed well within Beijing's 2017 target of 3 percent this year, slowed more than expected in November to 1.7 percent from 1.9 percent previously, as food prices fell. Non-food price inflation quickened to 2.5 percent in November from 2.4 percent in October. The consumer price index (CPI) had been expected to edge down to 1.8 percent on-year compared with an increase of 1.9 percent in October. The world's second-biggest economy has defied market expectations with economic growth of 6.9 percent in the first nine months of the year, supported by a construction boom and robust exports.

UK CPI unchanged in October
The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) 12-month inflation rate was 2.8% in October 2017, unchanged from September 2017. The inflation rate for food and non-alcoholic beverages continued to increase to 4.1%, the highest since September 2013. Rising prices for food and, to a lesser extent, recreational goods provided the largest upward contributions to change in the rate between September 2017 and October 2017. The upward contributions were offset by falling motor fuel and furniture prices, along with owner occupiers’ housing costs, which remained unchanged between September 2017 and October 2017, having risen a year ago. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) 12-month rate was 3.0% in October 2017, unchanged from September 2017.
