Pay attention to the performance of food and beverage sector in Sichuan and Chongqing.
According to the data of Sichuan Bureau of statistics, the CPI of Sichuan increased by 0.9% year-on-year in March, an increase of 0.3 percentage points over the previous month. Among them, the price of food, tobacco and alcohol decreased by 2.2%, the price of transportation and communication increased by 5.5%, the price of education, culture and entertainment increased by 2.9%, the price of other supplies and services increased by 1.9%, the price of clothing increased by 1.7%, the price of housing increased by 1.2%, the price of daily necessities and services increased by 0.9%, and the price of medical care increased by 0.7%. Specifically, affected by the high price of bulk commodities and the recent increase in energy prices, CPI has expanded compared with last month, especially due to the increase of transportation costs and the large increase of CPI in transportation, communication and fresh vegetables. At present, the pig industry is at the bottom of the pig cycle, and the pork price with a decrease of 43.4% continues to suppress CPI. On the whole, Sichuan and Chongqing are less affected by the epidemic, and regional consumption has strong resilience. Under the expectation that the scissors gap between PPI and CPI will gradually narrow, the prosperity and excess return of the food sector have increased significantly. At present, some companies have raised prices and their performance can be repaired.
