After facing troubles in the beginning of year from the weak economy, the Chinese appears to be further stabilizing during the third quarter. By far the prospects of economic expansion seem not to be dimmed but the recent activity of unleashing debt into the market do suggest that the sudden increased economic activity is indeed temporary.The main industries once again have spurred growth, inevitably due to the current fiscal stimulus.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

We have earlier argued that the current M&amp;A in the container shipping industry is about "Survival" and not "Growth". This morning from Japan, <blockquote>Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd., Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd., and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha have agreed, after the resolution by the board of directors of each company held today, and subject to regulatory approval from the authorities, to establish a new joint-venture company to integrate the container shipping businesses (including worldwide terminal…</blockquote>

Container Shipping - "Survival" M&A In Full Swing, Japanese Big 3 Merge Container Operations

During the third quarter official Chinese GDP remained at 6.7% driven primarily by real estate and the opaquel name “other” industries. As we noted yesterday in our note about the discrepancy between headline GDP and underlying data, a look at monthly output from important sectors fails to match broader output in the Chinese…
