China data out this morning

  • July M2 money supply +13.3 pct y/y (Reuters poll for the expected was at 11.7 pct)
  • July New yuan loans 1.48 trln yuan (Reuters poll for the expected was at 738.0 bln yuan)
  • End-July yuan lending +15.5 pct y/y (Reuters poll for the expected was at 13.6 pct)
  • July total social financing at 718.8 bln yuan

I wasn't expecting this data until the 12th
