BEIJING Nike Air Vapormax Triple White , Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- China's consumer inflation picked up in August, driven by higher food prices, while the factory-gate prices also rose, fueled by rising commodity costs.


Consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, accelerated more than expected to a seven-month high of 1.8 percent in August, up from July's 1.4 percent Nike Air Vapormax Black , beating market expectation of 1.6 percent, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Saturday.


For the first eight months of the year, CPI climbed 1.5 percent from one year earlier.


The stronger, yet still moderate, inflation remained well below the government's annual inflation regulation target of around 3 percent for 2017.


On a monthly basis, CPI was up 0.4 percent last month.


NBS chief statistician Sheng Guoqing attributed the faster CPI growth to higher food prices as adverse weather pushed up vegetable prices while falling output led to sharp growth in egg prices.


Food prices, the biggest component of the CPI Nike Air Vapormax White , were up 1.2 percent month on month, NBS said.


Vegetable prices rose 8.5 percent from July as scorching summer and widespread heavy rains increased transportation costs. Egg prices climbed 13.5 percent from July while the prices of pork, a staple meat in China, rose 1.3 percent month on month.


Year on year, food prices edged down 0.2 percent in August, while non-food prices gained 2.3 percent.


Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the core CPI increased 2.2 percent year on year in August Nike Air Vapormax Plus , up slightly from July's 2.1 percent. The core CPI has been holding steady at a little above 2 percent since March.


Analysts said the pick-up in consumer inflation is unlikely to continue because of a high comparative base in September 2016 and the fading effects of seasonal factors during the rest of the year.


Jiang Chao, chief economist at Haitong Securities, said the CPI increase would ease to 1.6 percent in September and remain subdued for the whole year.


Producer price index (PPI), which measures costs of goods at the factory gate, rose to a four-month high of 6.3 percent in August, compared with 5.5 percent in July, according to NBS.


PPI growth Nike Air Vapormax , which was higher than the market forecast of 5.7 percent, was boosted by increases in the prices of steel, non-ferrous metals, as well as oil and natural gas.


On a month-on-month basis, the index was up 0.9 percent last month.
