I posted the economic calendar earlier: Economic data due from Asia today - Japan CPI day

I obliviously got irrationally exuberant about Japanese inflation data and missed out on the China data. My bad.

0130 GMT - Industrial profits for September

  • prior +24.0% y/y

The August result was the highest in 4 years

  • stronger commodity prices helped
  • construction boom, government stimulus, capacity cuts all contributing

The August data was ahead of the National Congress, which also helped. ;-)
