Today China released 6% GDP numbers instead of the expected 6.1%. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected China’s third-quarter GDP to grow 6.1%. The third-quarter GDP growth was the slowest since the first quarter of 1992, according to Reuters. "Given exports are unlikely to stage a comeback and a possible slowdown in the property sector, the downward pressure on China's economy is likely to continue, with fourth-quarter economic growth expected to slip to 5.9%," Hwabao Trust economist Nie Wen said. ** The miss of the GDP growth rate in the third quarter is not that big, as China's economy remains in a downward trend, which could prompt the central government to roll out more stimulative measures to underpin the economy, Zhang Gang, analyst with Central Securities said.
