China is set to report its October retail sales and industrial production data, with analysts expecting retail sales to grow by 3.8% year-on-year, up from 3.2% in September, and industrial production to rise by 5.6%. The government has recently implemented stimulus measures, including interest rate cuts and a significant fiscal stimulus program worth 10 trillion yuan, to boost economic growth. Despite a rise in exports and improved manufacturing activity, domestic demand appears soft, as indicated by falling imports and modest consumer price increases. These reports are crucial as they will shed light on China's economic recovery efforts and consumer confidence post-COVID.
