China - Industrial profits for November: -1.8% y/y (prior was +3.6%)

October's was a 7 month low, November's is now an 8 month low and an outright fall

  • This is th4e first negative result of 2018

An ugly result. China 'proxy' trades taking it negatively.

Earlier I popped up some brief background on this:

October was +3.6% y/y, this was a 7 month low growth rate. Less impetus coming from the domestic economy alongside the US/China trade war has been cited for the slowing. Add in also:
