Heaps of data from China on Tuesday, due at 0200GMT (13 December 2016)

So, just to be clear, not today but on Tuesday morning (China time)

  • November Industrial Production y/y expected is 6.1%, prior was 6.1%
  • November industrial production YTD y/y expected is 6.0%, prior was 6.0%
  • November Fixed Assets (excluding rural) YTD y/y, expected is 8.3%, prior was 8.3%
  • November Retail Sales y/y, expected is 10.2%, prior was 10.0%
  • November Retail Sales YTD y/y, expected is 10.3%, prior was 10.3%

Data from China ahs, generally, been on the improve, led by better PMIs a few months ago.

having said that, Industrial Production is expected to be unchanged from October, albeit at a strong +6.1% y/y gain.

Retail Sales are expected to show an improvement ... and given the October result was the worst for around 10 years probably not unexpectedly.
