China Outlook

Some data out this week might show evidence that the trade war is hurting some economies with one of them being China.

There is market expectation that China's purchasing managers data out this Thursday might report the first drop in manufacturing activity since April 2017.

We get Carlos' take on this and the yuan that has been under pressure.

We also talk about China's slowing GDP where its Q3 GDP slowed to 6.5% - the slowest pace since 2009.

Carlos shares his views on expectation on the Chinese economy moving forward.
