China's Industrial Profits Rise in September Amid Sectoral Disparities
China's industrial profits rose 14.4% year-on-year in September, accelerating from August's 4.2% growth, with a 15.5% increase over the first nine months. Gains were driven by technology-related manufacturing, especially electronics linked to AI, while traditional sectors like furniture manufacturing saw significant declines. Despite a stronger third-quarter expansion nearing annual growth targets, disparities across sectors and challenges such as weak domestic consumption and export uncertainties highlight an uneven economic recovery.
