Comment:
Brent crude oil prices plunged lower to start the week after traders digested the downbeat US and Chinese economic data. In Asia, China’s industrial production and retail sales data for July missed analysts’ expectations, with industrial production rising 3.8% y/y versus 4.6% expected and retail sales increasing 2.7% y/y against 5.0% expected. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) cut its medium-term lending facility by 10 basis points, signaling renewed appetite to support economic growth. However, the move failed to allay recession woes among commodity traders.
