October data due today from China at 0200 GMT

I posted a preview earlier here: China data due today - what to expect (quickie)

But, if its just numbers you want...

Industrial Production,

  • expected 6.3% y/y, prior 6.6%

Fixed Assets (excluding rural),

  • expected 7.3%, prior 7.5%

Retail Sales

  • expected 10.5%, prior 10.3%

Preview ... this via Capital economics:

  • We expect investment growth to have continued to slow in October due to higher borrowing costs.
  • Meanwhile, weaker capital spending should have weighed on industrial output last month, alongside the disruption caused by efforts to reduce pollution levels.
  • But the shift in the timing of mid- autumn festival to October this year should have boosted retail sales.

And, also for CapEco, a l preview of what is due later in the week from China:

  • We should also get the October credit data over coming days. Tighter monetary conditions and seasonal factors are likely to have helped slow net new lending. We also anticipate slower year-on-year growth in outstanding bank loans and total social financing (TSF).
