The focus in Asia on January 9, 2026, is on China's December inflation data, set to be released at 0130 GMT. Zhe Shang Securities forecasts a 0.7% year-on-year increase, unchanged from November, with no month-on-month change expected. The backdrop includes low inflation but slight upward momentum in consumer prices, driven by food prices. Market participants will analyze the data for signs of firming domestic demand and broader price pressures, which could impact assessments of China's growth and global reflation narratives. The PBoC has hinted at potential rate cuts this year.
