China's bulk commodity price index continued its upward trend in January 2026, marking the ninth straight month of month-on-month gains and the highest level recorded in the past three and a half years, according to the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) on Thursday.

The index stood at 125.3 points in January, up 6.3 percent from last month, data released by the CFLP showed.

Of the 50 major types of bulk commodities monitored by the federation, 33 saw monthly price increases.

The strongest gains were recorded in neurolithium, refined tin, and refined nickel, up 48.4 percent, 20.2 percent and 19.5 percent, respectively.

Sector-wise, the sub-index for non-ferrous metals and chemical products rose sharply, up 9.9 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively, from the previous month, due to factors such as loose expectations for international monetary policy, geopolitics, and the futures market.

The supply and demand of the agricultural products market were balanced, and the price index rebounded slightly, up 0.2 percent from the previous month.
