Chinese industrial production, retail sales and urban-fixed-asset investment all missed expectations in October. From a year earlier industrial production slowed to 7.7%, below the 8.0% pace of September and expectations for a similar reading in October, while retail sales dipped to 11.5%, the slowest annual growth seen since March 2006. Last but not least, urban fixed asset investment dipped to 15.9% from 16.1% in September, a level last seen since December 2001. For all those tracking the materials sector, particularly iron ore and coking coal plays, production of crude steel fell 0.3% from a year earlier, the first time output has contracted since August 2012.
