Tainted Alpha

(For Q4 2010)

China fourth quarter GDP growth was reported at 9.8%, slightly better than third quarter growth rate of  9.6%. This time upside came from primary sector (agriculture, forestry…) and services rather than as usually from manufacturing.

In 2010 Chinese economy grew 10.3%,

Still quite high growth rates, I expect China will try to keep it’s economy growing at near 10% growth rate this year also. Biggest headwind will be inflation and with inflation connected interest rate increases. Looking at Q4 data Chinese growth looks quite resilient.
