China August Retail Sales 9.0% y/y (vs. expected 8.8%)

Chinese activity data hitting now, this for retails sales:

Retail Sales 9.0% y/y for a beat

• expected 8.8%, prior was 8.8%

Retail Sales YTD 9.3% y/y

• expected 9.3%, prior was 9.3%

Other data posted separately, nothing to surprise too much, but a small beat for retails sales (above) and a miss for investment

• China August Industrial Production 6.1% y/y (vs. expected 6.1%)
• China August Fixed Asset investment (excluding rural) YTD 5.3% y/y (expected 5.6%)

I'll post more separately
