China and Peru are deepening trade ties beyond tariffs and commodities
China and Peru have brought an upgraded free-trade agreement into force, extending their economic relationship into the rules governing digital commerce, logistics, investment and environmental cooperation. Effective from November 1, 2026, the protocol gives both countries a broader framework for managing trade while creating opportunities to connect Peruvian businesses more closely with Chinese markets and supply chains.
The agreement builds on a commercial partnership established well before the latest negotiations. The original treaty was signed in 2009 and entered into force in March 2010. Talks on its modernisation began in November 2018, followed by the signing of the upgrade in Lima in November 2024.

Investors are shifting AI bets from U.S. platforms to Asian suppliers
Investors continued adding money to global equity funds in late October, but their purchases became more selective as enthusiasm for artificial intelligence competed with concerns about the durability of the technology rally. Asian markets and technology funds remained prominent destinations, while withdrawals from US equity funds showed that confidence in AI was not translating into uniform support for American stocks.
Global equity funds attracted $10.19 billion during the week ended October 28, extending their run of net inflows to six weeks. However, purchases fell by approximately 59% from the previous week’s $25.06 billion. The figures suggest that investors retained an appetite for equities while committing fresh capital more cautiously ahead of major corporate earnings announcements.

China’s high-tech boom is failing to lift broader manufacturing economy
China’s return to manufacturing contraction in October highlights a growing imbalance in its economy: globally competitive technology industries are expanding, while domestic spending remains too weak to sustain a broader recovery. With overseas orders also losing momentum, Beijing faces renewed pressure to strengthen household demand and reduce its dependence on exports to maintain growth.
The official manufacturing purchasing managers’ index fell to 49.3 from September’s 50.1, undershooting the 50.0 reading anticipated by economists. October marked the third contraction in four months, suggesting that September’s improvement had yet to develop into a durable recovery. Production slipped below the expansion threshold, while new orders registered 49.4, pointing to weakness in both current activity and incoming business.
