China Leading Index Jumps 1.6% In September - Conference Board



A leading economic index for China spiked in September, the latest survey from Conference Board revealed on Friday, climbing 1.6 percent. That follows the 1.0 percent increase in August and the 0.9 percent gain in July. The coincident index skidded 1.2 percent after rising 0.7 percent in August and 1.0 percent in July. "China's economic situation, as measured by the coincident index, slowed substantially in September, due to very weak consumer demand and a struggling industrial sector," said Andrew Polk, resident economist at the Conference Board China Center in Beijing.
