China's GDP grew by 6.7%

The Chinese economy expanded steadily in the third quarter, offering further evidence of stability for the world’s second-largest economy. Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded at an annualized 6.7% in the third quarter, following a similar gain in Q2 and forecasts calling for the same. The growth rate was in line with Beijing’s full-year target of between 6.5% and 7%.

 

Earlier this month, Chinese Premier Li said his country in the third quarter “not only extended growth momentum in the first half but showed many positive changes.” Growth slowed to a 25-year low in 2015, but appeared to have stabilized in the first half of 2016. As a result, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently maintained its full-year outlook on China at 6.2%. The IMF described its global outlook as “subdued” as a result of Brexit shocks, volatile commodity prices and “ongoing realignments in China.”

 

Beijing released a deluge of economic reports on Wednesday. Industrial production, a broad measure of factory output, rose just 6.1% in September down from 6.3% in August. Retail sales grew at an annualized 10.7%, compared to 10.6% in August. Meanwhile, annual fixed-asset investment expanded 8.2% in the January-September period, official data showed.

 

Aussie is currently being traded around 0.7660 level. Pair is likely to find support around 0.7630 area and resistance near 0.77 handle.
