FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - GDP growth in China decelerated from 8.1% to 7.6% in Q2 2012. Faltering exports weighed on industrial production, slowing its growth by 10bp to 9.5% in June.

However, Chinese Premier Wen hinted earlier this week that concrete fiscal measures would be taken to stimulate growth, which could take China out of the current slump: “Combined with first signs of a stabilisation in the property sector and with inflation at comfortable levels for the People’s Bank of China, this suggests that a turnaround could be on the cards”, wrote Danske Bank senior analyst Christin Tuxen.
