Special focus on APAC's vulnerabilities to slower Chinese
economic growth
With worries over trade wars and tariffs dominating the
political and economic agenda, the release of trade data from
several key Asian countries in the coming week will provide
important clues as to trade performance in the region, notably for
China. An especially busy data calendar for China after the Golden
Week also includes Caixin Services PMI plus data on credit, money
supply and foreign direct investment.
The main central bank action comes from Singapore, where the
monetary policy is accompanied by the advance estimate of third
quarter GDP.
Other data highlights for Asia include Malaysia's industrial
production numbers, South Korea's unemployment data, Japan's
machinery orders and current account, Philippine and Taiwan trade
data, plus India's inflation and industrial production figures.
Elsewhere, UK monthly GDP data and US inflation numbers warrants
close attention.
Our special focus this week looks at how trade tensions are
weighing on an already-weakening rate of economic expansion in
China, and the likely impact on the rest of the APAC region.
