1. Profit of China's industrial companies continued to grow at a slower pace as the country's manufacturing sector and the overall economy extended their moderation. Net income of Chinese industrial companies rose 61.1% from a year earlier in the 1st 7 months to RMB1.87 trillion, the National Bureau of Statistics said.

2. The supply of new homes in Shanghai hit its highest in 3 months at the weekend (28-29 September) as real estate developers gear up to boost sales, betting on recovering market sentiment in September and October -- a high season for home purchases in China. A total of 1,950 new homes in at least 8 apartment projects, most of which are located beyond the city's Outer Ring Road, were released -- the largest weekend supply since June, according to leading real estate information portal Soufun.com. In contrast, the previous weekend saw only 444 apartment units launched, Soufun statistics showed. Among the latest launches during the weekend, CapitaLand, a Singapore-based developer known for its Raffles brand malls, will have units at 2 of its residential projects for sale -- The Pinnacle in Pudong New Area and The Metropolis in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province -- injecting a total of more than 400 units into the market. Located at the intersection of Yanggao Road S. and Gaoke Road W., The Pinnacle, whose units are priced between RMB27,000 and RMB33,000/sq m, is the only project introduced within the city's Middle Ring Road. "The market has corrected steeply as the government's determination to cool the country's overheated housing market remains unchanged," said Lu Yiping, an analyst with Soufun. "Developers, particularly with projects in outlying areas of the city, seemed most aggressive in launching their developments because demand from end-users for mid- to low-class houses remained pretty strong despite an overall sluggish buying momentum since mid-April." 9 of the 10 best-selling residential projects by area in Shanghai in the week ended 22 August were sold at below RMB20,000/sq m on average, according to China Real Estate Information Corp. (Shanghai Daily).
