Annualised GDP for the sec- ond quarter was revised down to 2.1% from 2.4% and the ADP employment report missed esti- mates. It showed that 177k jobs were added in August rather than the 195k anticipated. In a classic case of bad news is good news, this led to specu- lation that the Federal Reserve might not need to be as aggres- sive in its monetary policy set- tings as previously thought. Equities appear to like that an- gle with Wall Street recovering from early losses in the cash session to finish the day with modest gains. The Nasdaq was the best performer, eking out a 0.54% uplift. Futures are point- ing to a quiet start to the cash session ahead. APAC stock markets have had a mixed day with Australian and Japanese indices slightly in the green, while the bourses on mainland China and Hong Kong edged into the red. Country Garden, one of Chi- na's largest property players, re- vealed further problems and sig- nalled that a debt default could happen after reporting a record loss of US$ 7 billion for the first half of this year. Official Chinese manufactur- ing PMI for August beat esti- mates of 49.2 to print at 49.7, but it wasn't enough to over- come lingering concerns around the property sector. Japanese industrial production figures month-on-month to the end of July came in at -2.0% in- stead of the anticipated -1.4%. USD/JPY dipped toward 145.75 in the aftermath before recover- ing back above 146. Crude oil has held on to recent gains with the WTI futures con- tract above US$ 81.50 bbl while the Brent contract is near US$ 86 bbl. Likewise, spot gold is holding above US$ 1,940. Looking ahead, Euro-wide CPI data will be released ahead of US jobless claims.
