More:
- the unemployment rate in 31 cities was 5.1%
- January – September property investment was down 10.1% y/y
- January – September infrastructure investment was +4.1%
Offshore yuen is up a little after the data.
All three of the major activity indicators were above expectations, with retail sales and industrial output above August.
