China’s Economy Grows More-Than-Estimated 7.3% in Third Quarter
China’s economic growth beat analysts’ estimates as the government eased property restrictions and expedited spending.
Gross domestic product rose 7.3 percent in the July-September period from a year earlier, the statistics bureau said today in Beijing, compared with the 7.2 percent median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of analysts. September industrial production also exceeded projections.
Today, stocks surged. People who have their money invested in funds that track the S&P 500 or tech-heavy Nasdaq are smiling. Both indexes have erased well over half their losses for October. Or put another way: The S&P 500 is now up over 5% for the year. And the Nasdaq, which had its best day of 2014 today, is up even higher.
Even the Dow, which has struggled the most in recent weeks, is showing signs of a momentum change. The blue chip index surged 200 points, one of its best moves of the year. In a small but important psychological shift, the Dow is finally positive again for 2014 The market is clearly reacting positively to earnings from major U.S. companies.
