I posted the data from China here, with a brief comment only
- Home prices in China rose for a fourth consecutive month in August
- Offering hope that the ailing property sector is becoming less of a drag on the slowing economy
- Analysts do not expect a full-blown turnaround any time soon
- Huge overhang of unsold homes discourages new construction and investment in all but the biggest cities
- The property sector accounts for 15 percent of China's gross domestic product, so even modest signs of improvement would relieve some pressure on the economy
- Economists at Standard Chartered say sentiment in the property market is still fragile
