SHANGHAI stocks dipped yesterday as China’s inflation rose while investors were gloomy over the economic outlook.

China’s CPI rose to 1.5 percent in December from 1.4 percent in November.
CITIC Securities expects the Chinese economy to continue with its downward trend in 2015. There is speculation that the government will unveil fresh stimulus to lift economic growth, such as an interest rate cut in the first quarter of the year.
But Minsheng Securities cautioned that an easier monetary policy may not stimulate the cooling property market because of an oversupply in the sector.
