Morning Bites (part 2)
🏦China’s aggregate financing recovered 26% YoY in August to CNY 3.12tn, after hitting the lowest point since July 2014 the previous month. At the same time, the figure came in 27% ahead of the consensus. Meanwhile, traditional bank loans rose 9% YoY to CNY 1.36tn, also surpassing the consensus estimate of CNY 1.20tn. Overall, although China’s economic recovery has stumbled after solid 1Q23, its PMI data was the strongest among largest economies. We also keep in mind Beijing’s intention to support the economy via the real estate segment, which might bolster industrial metals demand later in 2H23
China represents 52% of global steel consumption, as well as 55% and 58% of world copper and aluminium demand, respectively
