Markets assessed the revamped line-up of Chinese Communist Party leadership, as well as delated data including Q3 GDP and September economic activity indicators. The data were a mixed bag, as China's economy expanded at a faster than expected clip and industrial output grew more than forecast, but retail sales underwhelmed, unemployment ticked higher and new home prices extended decline.
