2 Outside Malaysia US stocks retreat as jobs data keep Fed on track to tighten US stocks slipped, as jobs data showing steady growth in the labor market kept the Federal Reserve on track to carry out an interest rate increase this year. The S&P 500 Index slipped 0.3% to 2, The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost points (0.2%) to 18, Payrolls in US rise 156,000 as more Americans seek work Employers continued to add to payrolls in September as record openings drew more Americans into the workforce and most found jobs, indicating the US labor market is settling into a pace that will support the economy. The 156,000 increase followed a 167,000 rise in August that was more than previously estimated, a Labor Department report showed. The median forecast surveyed by Bloomberg called for a reading of 172,000. Fed s Fischer says job gains contrast with poor growth in US Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said US job creation was continuing at a pace fully consistent with lower unemployment, but continued to contrast with a weak overall economic expansion. The problem in the economy is the difference between the remarkable success of policy at reducing unemployment, and the very low rate of growth in gross domestic product, said Fischer. German production jumps most since January on investment German industrial production jumped more than economists estimated in August on surging output of investment goods, according to figures released by the Economy Ministry. Output, adjusted for seasonal swings and inflation, rose 2.5% from July, when it dropped 1.5%. The median forecast in a Blomberg survey was for 1% gain. UK manufacturers post modest recovery from Brexit shock UK manufacturers staged a modest rebound from the initial shock of the Brexit vote, as a weaker pound boosted overseas demand for cars. Output rose 0.2% in August, less than the 0.4% predicted in a Bloomberg survey, Office for National Statistics data showed. It followed a 0.9% drop in July in the aftermath of the shock decision to leave the European Union. Kuroda signals BOJ may delay hitting inflation target to 2018 Governor Haruhiko Kuroda gave the clearest signal yet that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) may postpone the forecast date for achieving its 2% inflation target to 2018, even with economic growth set to accelerate next year. It may take slightly more months to reach the 2% inflation rate than the current forecast to hit it in the coming fiscal year, Kuroda said. China foreign-exchange reserves drop as yuan pressures build China s foreign-exchange reserves declined more than expected in September, amid speculation the central bank resumed selling dollars to support the yuan. The stockpile shrank to US$3.17trn last month, the People s Bank of China (PBOC) said in a statement. That s the lowest since April 2011 and below the median estimate of US$3.18trn in a Bloomberg survey of economists. Oil declines after Russia sees no deal with OPEC next week WTI fell below US$50 a barrel after Russia cast doubt over a deal any time soon with OPEC, following the group s pledge to reduce production. Brent for December settlement fell US$0.58 (1.1%) to US$51.93 a barrel. Source: Bloomberg (Lim Yee Ping; ; yeeping.lim@affinhwang.com) Page 2 of 6
