Chinese equities are under pressure as investors shift their focus to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data due out on Friday. As per the projection, the annual CPI figure is expected to drop to 1%. The same event will force the Bank of China (PBOC) to seek policy easing that could spur China's economic growth. Meanwhile, the Japanese index is facing massive pressure despite the well-anticipated Japanese GDP data. The annual data showed that it had contracted by 0.8% against 1.1% from the previous data released, amounting to -1.2%. Meanwhile, the July-September data contracted by 0.2% from the previous data released, 0.3%. These figures are optimistic figures from expectations, but the growth rate is still contractionary which requires more economic stimulus from the Bank of Japan (BoJ), and this is what has triggered concerns about a decline in inflation in the future.
