Mainland China's Consumer Price Index (CPI) lifted 0.4% YoY in September, while the Producer Price Index (PPI) dropped 2.8% YoY in the same month. The market is on the see-saw for the upcoming export data of China for last month. The Ministry of Finance (MOF) held a press conference last Saturday (12th) and stated that a package of targeted incremental policy measures would be launched in the near future, including support for local resolving hidden debts, supporting large state-owned commercial banks to replenish core tier-one capital, supporting the promotion of the property market to cease downfall with stability, increasing support and protection for key groups, and so on.

The market had originally estimated that the authorities might introduce new stimulus policies worth RMB2 trillion to galvanize the economy, but no mention was made of the scale or amount of measures at the press conference last Saturday. A report by HSBC pointed out that the content of the press conference was still beyond the broker's expectations, despite absence of actual figures.
