Prices for goods at the factory gate in China rose at a slower pace than expected in April, the government said Wednesday.
The producer price index (PPI) rose 6.4 percent year-on-year in April, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, slightly lower than economists' expectations of a 6.7 percent increase in a Bloomberg News survey, and a slump from a 7.6 percent gain in March.
