While the US S&P 500 index’s futures are rising by 0.52%. 0.43%.

China had a key role, with the worrying state of the domestic economy,

owing to energy problems and high raw material costs affecting industrial production.

In the meantime, the path of the global economy is worrying as it is affected by the pandemic, causing investors to be cautious.

With regard to the overall situation in Asia, industrial production fell by 3.2% in August, while retail sales declined for the first time in six months,

unlike the manufacturing sector, which improved in September.

The Chinese industry is suddenly shrinking in September

According to official figures, the gloomy mood suddenly took over the Chinese industry in September.

The PMI in the manufacturing sector fell to 49.6 (August: 50.1),

according to data from the National Statistics Agency and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP).

This is the first time since February 2020 that the index fell below the important 50 mark.

The Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) in the manufacturing sector set by Caixin Media Co and Research House Markit rose to 50.0 (August: 49.2) points.

The index is based on a survey of about 400 companies, with greater attention to small, privately-owned companies.

Japanese industry was significantly weaker in August

The Japanese industry suffered a major setback last month.

According to the Government, production fell by 3.2 percent compared to the previous month and is therefore much higher than expected.

US stock indices ended Wednesday without a single dynamic, with the Nasdaq Composite falling for the fourth straight day, while the Dow Jones Industrial Index and Standard & Poor’s 500 rose.

The Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Jerome Powell,

said that the growing growth in consumer prices in the United States was associated with the recovery of economic activity after the Covid- 19 pandemic,

and did not mean that such an inflationary system would continue in the future

. He also reiterated that the Fed would raise the benchmark interest rate if “the significant increase in inflation causes serious concerns”.

Investors remain concerned about the rising debt limit.

Republicans in the Senate stopped another attempt by Democrats to raise the national debt limit,

leaving them with the need to develop a new initiative to avoid default.

In the meantime, Janet Yellen, the US Treasury chief, warned earlier that her department could run out funds by October 18,

if Congress did not raise the borrowing cap.
