IPC Index — Mexico MarketChina’s 10-year government bond yield fell to below 1.84%, hitting its lowest level in two weeks, as disappointing economic data dampened sentiment. November figures showed momentum cooling, with retail sales growth slowing sharply and falling well short of forecasts, underscoring persistent weakness in consumption. Industrial output also eased slightly from the prior month and missed expectations, while fixed-asset investment contracted more than anticipated, its deepest downturn since the pandemic period. The prolonged property slump remained a major drag, with real estate investment falling at a faster pace and home price declines intensifying across major cities. However, economists said the deterioration in investment and housing conditions reinforced expectations for additional fiscal and monetary support early next year, including plans to issue ultra-long-term special government bonds to fund national security projects, equipment upgrades, and consumer goods trade-in programs.
