A Reuters survey of 22 market participants showed all expected the one-year and five-year LPRs to stay at 3.00% and 3.50% at Tuesday's review. Third-quarter growth rebounded from three-year lows as strong exports offset tight consumer spending, though analysts warn that reliance on external drivers is deepening structural imbalances. Market participants expect Beijing to meet its 2026 growth target of 4.5%-5.0% without additional stimulus. New home prices fell again in September, extending a slump of more than three years and suggesting policy support has not yet sparked a broad housing recovery.

- China's GDP growth beats forecasts
China's GDP grew 4.5% year on year in the third quarter of 2026, beating the 4.4% forecast and rebounding from 4.3% in the second quarter, a three-year low. Growth averaged 4.6% over the first nine months, in line with Beijing's 4.5%–5% target for the year, driven by tech exports and a record monthly trade surplus of US$133.5 billion. However, retail sales rose only 1.1% in September, urban fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% and property development investment slumped 20.6% in the first nine months. Producer prices rose 5% mainly on fuel costs, while consumer inflation stayed below 1%, pointing to weak domestic demand. Economists said the prolonged housing crisis and supply-demand imbalance may limit spillovers, and the strong data could reduce pressure on Beijing to deploy needed stimulus.
- China economy grows 4 . 5 % as exports surge
China's economy grew 4.5% in the third quarter, beating forecasts, as strong exports offset weak consumer spending and a prolonged property downturn. Analysts expect Beijing to reach its 2026 target of 4.5%-5.0% without additional stimulus, but warn that growing reliance on external drivers is deepening structural imbalances. Retail sales again lagged industrial output, fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% in January-September, and the job market has weakened. The yuan firmed to its strongest level since July 2022 on Monday.
- China economy picks up pace at 4 . 5 % growth – The Irish Times
China's economy grew 4.5% year on year in the third quarter, faster than the 4.3% in the second quarter and the 4.4% median forecast, lifting growth for the first nine months to 4.6%, within the 4.5%-5% annual target. ANZ's Xing Zhaopeng said bigger fiscal spending helped investment and retail sales, but the recovery remains unsolid and carries downside risk into 2027. Stronger data may give policymakers room to hold off on more easing, though property investment fell 20.6% in the first nine months and domestic demand is still soft. Exports are propping up growth, and the trade surplus is on track to exceed last year's $1.2 trillion record, drawing pressure from trade partners who want a stronger yuan, which the IMF sees as undervalued by a midpoint of 21.3%.
- China economy gains pace on exports as domestic demand falters
China's economy grew 4.5% in the July-September quarter from a year earlier, beating expectations and up from 4.3% in April-June, which was the slowest pace in more than three years. The growth brings Beijing closer to its 2026 target of 4.5%-5%, although the IMF has cut its forecast for China to 4.5%. Exports rose 36% last month, and the trade surplus reached $938 billion between January and September, putting China on course to exceed last year's record $1.2 trillion, driven by high-tech goods and electric and hybrid vehicles. Domestic demand remains weak amid the property downturn, and analysts say the headline figure hides wide gaps across industries, regions and households. The EU and China agreed this month to roughly halve Chinese hybrid vehicle imports over the next few years, but European countries are considering further curbs on Chinese products.
- China Q3 GDP growth accelerates to 4 . 5 %, beats forecast
China's third-quarter GDP grew 4.5%, beating forecasts and rebounding from three-year lows as booming exports offset weak consumer spending. Analysts expect Beijing to meet its 2026 target of 4.5% to 5% without additional stimulus, but warn that reliance on external drivers is deepening structural imbalances. Retail sales rose 1.1% in September, lagging industrial output growth of 5.5%, while fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% in January-September and the property sector remains in a downturn. Exports rose more than a third, and trade surpluses with Germany and France each jumped over 200% in September, prompting the EU to plan further curbs.
- China economy accelerates on robust exports as domestic weakness persists
China's economy grew 4.5% year-on-year in the July-September quarter, up from 4.3% in April-June and better than expected, driven by robust exports. Domestic demand remains weak amid a prolonged property slump, and analysts warn the headline growth figure increasingly masks widening disparities across industries, regions and households. Exports rose 36% last month, and the trade surplus reached $938 billion from January to September, putting China on track to surpass last year's record $1.2 trillion. The EU, which runs a trade deficit with China of more than $1.1 billion a day, has agreed with Beijing to roughly halve Chinese hybrid vehicle imports over the next few years, though pressure for further curbs continues. China's growth target for the year is 4.5%-5%, and the IMF recently trimmed its 2026 forecast for China to 4.5%.

- Duong Son Ba Arrested, Hai Phong Thermal Power Loses Lawsuit and Must Pay VND 115 Billion to Partner
Hai Phong Thermal Power (HND) disclosed an appellate ruling in a coal supply dispute with Dan Ka Mineral, under which the court accepted the plaintiff's appeal and ordered the company to pay nearly VND 115 billion, including a coal price difference of over VND 80.15 billion and interest of over VND 34.65 billion. The dispute stems from a 2021 contract, with disagreement over price adjustments after global coal prices rose sharply in 2022. Duong Son Ba, the company's general director, was arrested on 21 May 2026 over alleged forgery of documents of an agency or organisation, and the board dismissed him from the post on 13 October, with no successor yet announced. In the first half of 2026, the company reported net revenue of nearly VND 6,081 billion, up 8%, and after-tax profit of over VND 508 billion, up nearly 25%.
- Iran threatens to use the 'father of all missiles' to strike adversaries' energy facilities
Major General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, senior adviser to the IRGC commander, said at a rally in Sari on October 18 that Iran has prepared the most advanced missiles and will respond to any aggression. He warned that energy infrastructure and investments belonging to powers Tehran deems aggressive in the region could fall within Iranian missile range. His remarks answered US President Donald Trump's threat to use the GBU-43/B MOAB, often called the 'mother of all bombs' and weighing about 14 tons, against Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear sites. Naqdi said Iran also possesses these bombs, having seized some that failed to detonate in the 12-day war, and called Trump's impatience a 'public admission of defeat'.
- Strategy on verge of golden cross, just weeks after bitcoin flashed same bullish signal
Strategy (MSTR) is about to form a golden cross, when its 50-day average rises above its 200-day average, possibly as early as Monday, just weeks after bitcoin showed the same bullish signal. The company holds $69.81 billion in bitcoin, and its stock has had two earlier golden crosses followed by big rallies: from $15.57 in September 2020 to $127.29 by February 2021, a 717% gain, and from $25.29 on March 2, 2023 to a peak of $473.83 in November 2024, up 1,774%. The article stresses the signal is unreliable, though: since 1999 MSTR has had 19 golden crosses, and only 10 were followed by a higher price 12 months later, a 50% hit rate, with a median 12-month return of just 3.3%. The two worst cases, in 2001 and 2007, were followed by a 61% loss.
- Director of the HCMC Institute of Economics, Natural Resources and Environment: Four major corporations have raised plans to invest in Vietnam, but pulled back when asked about power capacity
At a seminar co-organized by Tien Phong newspaper and the HCMC Department of Construction on October 16, TS. Phạm Viết Thuận said the city should treat infrastructure as an integrated system rather than focusing only on transport. He argued that 11 main and 13 secondary infrastructure categories, including power, water drainage, industrial zones and logistics, need to be synchronized for the city to develop its economy. To address flooding, he proposed surveying 159 flood-prone points and building ecological lakes at major spots. He also noted that four large corporations had considered investing in Vietnam but withdrew when asked about grid power capacity. Department director Trần Quang Lâm said capital mobilization and land policy need further study, while traffic congestion, flooding and pollution remain the city’s top priorities.
- Live updates: Bitcoin tags $83,000 and slips back as chip stocks lead a rebound
Bitcoin climbed from an overnight low near $80,700 to just above $83,000 early Monday, then slipped back to about $82,400 as sellers stepped in, and was up 0.3% over 24 hours. The bounce followed tech stocks, with Nasdaq 100 futures up 1.1%, snapping a weeklong 5.5% selloff, and an ETF tracking chipmakers jumping 3%. WTI crude recovered to $98.55 after touching $96.72, as the U.S. warned citizens across 12 Middle East locations of possible flight cancellations and airspace closures, raising fears of fresh strikes on Iran and disruption at the Strait of Hormuz. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 fell 0.8% after protests in France. Bitcoin would need to move through $84,000, its ceiling on October 13 and 14, to signal that the tech rebound is lifting it too.
- Baystreet . ca - When Might October Nasdaq Correction End ?
The Nasdaq Composite (QQQ ETF) is 6.96% below its 52-week high after falling 5.52% last week, close to the 10% threshold for a technical correction. The article says high oil prices, sustained by Iran's control of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, keep September CPI and PPI rising, and that Iran wants higher oil prices to hurt the Republican Party before the midterm elections, so the correction in beaten-down stocks may continue. CoreWeave (CRWV) lost 25.21% last week, closing just 3% above its yearly low, while bears holding a 17% short float bet its $50 billion debt is unsustainable. Nebius (NBIS) fell 25% and Twilio (TWLO) dropped 15.6%, while Autodesk (ADSK), Salesforce (CRM) and Adobe (ADBE) drew buying. The article suggests volatility may ease after the midterms.
