UK SHOP PRICES CONTINUE TO FALL IN SEPTEMBER:
UK shop prices continued to decrease in September on falling non-food prices, data from the British Retail Consortium, or BRC, revealed Wednesday.
The shop price index dropped 1.6 percent year-on-year, the same pace of decrease as seen in August. Non-food prices decreased 3.2 percent in September compared to a decline of 3.4 percent in August. At the same time, food inflation eased to 1.2 percent from 1.3 percent in August. Fresh food inflation held steady at 0.2 percent.
Retailers are cutting prices in order to encourage further spending where sales are yet to pick up, Helen Dickinson, chief executive at BRC, said. In addition, September saw the lowest rate of fresh food inflation since 2017, which has been mostly driven by the continued availability of fresh, local food produce.
Mike Watkins, Head of Retailer and Business Insight, Nielsen, said "Looking ahead we can expect shop price inflation to remain at current low levels for the next quarter."

CHINA'S INFLATION SLOWS IN SEPTEMBER; PPI CONTINUES TO FALL
China's consumer price growth slowed in September on easing food price inflation and producer prices continued to ease, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Thursday.
Consumer prices advanced 1.7 percent on a yearly basis in September, slower than the 2.4 percent increase seen in August. This was also slower than the economists' forecast of 1.8 percent.
At the same time, core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, held steady at 0.5 percent in September.
Driven by a slowdown in pork price inflation, food prices grew 7.9 percent following 11.2 percent rise in August. Pork prices grew 25.5 percent but much slower than the 52.6 percent increase logged in the previous month.
On a monthly basis, consumer prices gained 0.2 percent versus a 0.4 percent rise a month ago. Another report from NBS showed that producer prices were down 2.1 percent annually after easing 2 percent in August. Economists had forecast an annual decrease of 1.8 percent.
With infrastructure-led stimulus still being ramped up and consumption rebounding, demand-side pressures on prices will probably strengthen in the coming months, pushing up underlying inflation, Julian Evans-Pritchard and Sheana Yue, economists at Capital Economics, said.
However, the economists noted that the rebound in core consumer price inflation will still leave it relatively subdued and food price inflation looks set to drop back further in the near-term as pork supply continues to recover from last year's African swine fever outbreak.
The benign outlook for inflation means it is unlikely to be a major driver of policy decisions in the coming quarters, the economists added.

AUSTRALIA'S LEADING INDEX SIGNALS ROBUST GROWTH MOMENTUM
Australia's leading index improved in September suggesting that momentum continued to show a significant improvement consistent with the economy moving out of recession, data from Westpac showed Wednesday.
The six-month annualized growth rate in the Westpac Melbourne Institute Leading Index, which indicates the likely pace of economic activity relative to trend three to nine months into the future, rose to -0.48 percent in September from -2.28 percent in August.
The leading index growth rate has lifted a whopping 5.11 percentage points since April, data showed.
The main components driving the improvement have been US industrial production, the S&P/ASX 200, aggregate monthly hours worked, the Westpac-MI Consumer Expectations index, and the Westpac-MI "Unemployment Expectations index.
However, these gains have been partially offset by a bigger drag from commodity prices and the dwelling approvals.
Westpac upgraded its growth outlook for 2021 to 2.8 percent and that for 2022 to 3.5 percent.
Key factors behind the improvement are a boost to consumer demand, as households spend around 50 percent of the personal tax cuts, and a lift in business investment in response to the accelerated depreciation allowances.
Bill Evans, chief economist at Westpac expects the cash rate, the three year bond target rate and the rate on the Term Funding Facility to be reduced from 0.25 percent to 0.10 percent at the upcoming meeting on November 3.
