The People’s Bank of China said the nation faces "slight rising pressure" on inflation, which should be "closely watched."

The PBOC said that a gauge of household inflation expectations had also risen from the previous quarter. "We need to continue to pay attention," the central bank said, according to a quarterly monetary policy report released late Wednesday in Beijing.
