Australia September S&P Global composite PMI (final) 51.3, prior 50.8.

The China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing said on Oct. 5 its China bulk commodity price index rose 4.1% month-on-month in September. CFLP attributed the rise to the traditional production/construction seasonal peak, acceleration of major projects and improving manufacturing output and market demand, with international price swings and tighter supply for some commodities adding cost pressure. CFLP said stabilizing the market’s improvement requires enhanced monitoring and risk prevention in key commodity markets, stable supply of major energy and resources, and faster progress on industry-chain risk-sharing and new benefit-linkage mechanisms to strengthen risk mitigation and help underpin stable Q4 economic performance.
