Now for a look at the Chinese economy. China's producer and consumer inflation both eased in January. Data released from the National Bureau of Statistics on Friday showed the producer price index rose 4.3 percent in January from a year earlier, but down 0.6 percentage points from the previous month. Analysts say that may suggest last year's strong profit growth in China's industrial sector could be fading. Meanwhile, the consumer price index rose 1.5 percent from a year earlier. The food price index declined 0.5 percent year on year while non-food prices rose 2 percent. Analysts say China's government will maintain a 3 percent consumer inflation target for 2018, suggesting policymakers are not foreseeing any sharp price rises that could force the central bank to tighten policy more quickly.
