China Manufacturing Index Beats Estimates as Output Rises

Chinese manufacturing growth beat analyst estimates in November, indicating the nation’s economic recovery is sustaining momentum amid government efforts to rein in credit growth.

The Purchasing Managers’ Index was 51.4, the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said yesterday. That’s the same reading as October, which was an 18-month high, and exceeded 24 out of 26 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. A number above 50 signals expansion.

Stability in manufacturing growth in the world’s second-biggest economy may give Premier Li Keqiang more room to implement policy changes laid out after a Communist Party meeting last month. While industrial investment is picking up and retail sales have increased 13 percent so far this year, China faces headwinds that include industrial overcapacity, excessive corporate debt and slower export demand.

“Momentum seems to be quite stable at the moment so policy makers can be quite relaxed,” said Wang Tao, chief China economist at UBS AG in Hong Kong. “If anything, growth in the fourth quarter is not going to weaken as much as many people had expected,” Wang said, with “robust” production momentum and expanding domestic and export orders “pointing to pretty stable growth ahead.”

China’s benchmark Shanghai Composite Index  of stocks rose 3.7 percent in November, the biggest monthly gain since August, on optimism that the reform package outlined by Communist Party leaders on Nov. 15 will bolster the economy and corporate earnings.

U.S. Stocks Rise as Technology Shares Rally Amid Data

U.S. stocks rose, extending a third monthly gain for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) Co. led a technology rally while data on employment and consumer confidence boosted optimism in the economy.

Hewlett-Packard jumped 9.1 percent after the maker of personal computers posted revenue and profit that topped analysts’ estimates. Marathon Petroleum Corp. and Valero Energy Corp. rose at least 3.4 percent, leading a rally among refiners. Schlumberger Ltd. and Noble Energy Inc. fell at least 1.7 percent as crude slid to the lowest level in almost six months.

The S&P 500 rose 0.3 percent to a record 1,807.23 at 4 p.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 24.53 points, or 0.2 percent, to 16,097.33, an all-time high. About 4.8 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, the slowest trading since Aug. 26. U.S. equity markets will be closed tomorrow for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Today’s data “is in some sense a re-affirmation that things are going along pretty decently,” Bill Schultz, chief investment officer who oversees about $1.1 billion at McQueen Ball & Associates in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, said by phone. “Are we going to get higher rates again? Is tapering still out there? The market is playing with what’s going to come next and how we position going forward given a number of uncertainty still sitting out there.”

The S&P 500 has climbed 2.9 percent in November as data on housing and retail sales exceeded economists’ forecasts, stoking optimism that the world’s largest economy will sustain growth when the Federal Reserve starts reducing its monetary stimulus.

Most Hong Kong Stocks Decline on U.S. Sentiment, Energy

Most Hong Kong stocks fell, heading for a one-week low, after U.S. consumer confidence unexpectedly dropped and energy producers slid as oil fell for a fourth day.

The Hang Seng Index (HSI) slid 0.1 percent to 23,656.55 as of 9:33 a.m. in Hong Kong, with two shares falling for each that rose on the 50-member gauge. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HSCEI), also known as the H-share index, lost 0.3 percent to 11,265.89.

The Hang Seng Index advanced 20 from this year’s low on June 24 through yesterday on signs of economic recovery in China. Shares on the gauge traded at 1.35 times estimated earnings yesterday, compared with 16.28 on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The H-share index, which climbed 27 percent from this year’s low on June 25 through yesterday, was valued at 8.3 times estimates earnings.

Futures on the U.S. equity gauge were little changed today. The gauge rose less than 1 point yesterday after rising as much as 0.3 percent. The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index fell to 70.4 in November from a revised 72.4 in October, which was stronger than initially estimated. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 78 economists called for a reading of 72.6.

West Texas Intermediate oil futures fell as much as 0.2 percent, heading for fourth day of decline, after an industry report showed supplies rose for a ninth week in the U.S. Crude has slumped after Iran agreed to limit its nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions, including on oil exports.

Strong Euro to Cut Region’s 2014 Growth, Nomura’s Nordvig Says

 The euro, the second best-performing major currency this year, has increased so much that it will weigh on economic growth in the euro region going into 2014, according to Nomura Holdings Inc.’s Jens Nordvig.

The strength of the 17-nation shared currency, which has increased 2.4 percent versus the dollar year-to-date, the most after Denmark’s krone, will trim euro area growth by 0.5 percent in 2014, said Nordvig. The shared currency was the fifth-worst performer among the greenback’s 16 most-traded counterparts in 2012.

“If you look at how much the euro has moved, and the impact that’s going to have on exports, it’s starting to be a real issue,” Nordvig, the New York-based managing director of currency research at Nomura, said in an interview on Bloomberg Radio’s “Surveillance” with Tom Keene and Michael McKee. “Last year, it was a dilemma about coming up with policies that really stated very clearly the euro is here to stay. It’s an ironic situation.”

The euro depreciated 0.4 percent to $1.3508 at 12:19 p.m. in New York after earlier falling as much as 0.5 percent. The shared currency rose to $1.3832 on Oct. 25, its highest level since November 2011.

Europe’s currency climbed to a four-year high against the yen on Nov. 19 after a European Central Bank board member said policy makers must be “very careful” about using negative interest rates to counter low inflation.

The ECB is the only major central bank that hasn’t entertained the idea of quantitative easing, which means it has to consider different ways to come across as dovish in order to stem the rise in the euro, according to Nordvig.

“It’s absolutely crucial that the ECB signals more clearly that they have more tools and are willing to use them as needed,” Nordvig said. “We should see urgency, and I think hopefully the ECB will start to get more aggressive.”

The 17-nation euro has gained 6.8 percent this year, making it the best performer out of 10 developed-nation currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The dollar gained 4 percent and the yen slipped the most, 13 percent.
