Asia markets will keep eye on China data
Statistics to be released on Thursday include figures that may indicate state of China's economic health
THE RESULT of Wednesday's UK parliamentary vote on Brexit will be among the key events that will play into investors' minds on Thursday - but it is unlikely to take centrestage.
IG market strategist Pan Jingyi said that even though market watchers will continue to keep a lookout for the latest updates on Brexit, they are expected "to accord greater importance to the Chinese releases on Thursday".
The Chinese data releases include industrial production, retail sales and foreign direct investment figures - which may provide an indication of the health of China's economy during a time where growth concerns are increasing.
