- Gloomy data, China noises
The risk of China exporting deflation to the rest of the world is on the rise. Figures released overnight showed fell at their fastest rate in three years in August, underlining the problems faced by a manufacturing sector largely dependent on access to the U.S. market.
Also, Japan said that fell by 37% on the year, the lowest since 2009, in another reflection of how the prevailing uncertainty around trade and Brexit is hammering business investment. and data for July, released earlier, also fell short of forecasts.

Wall Street is set for a lower opening after the largely gloomy data from Asia and Europe reminded markets that the global slowdown is still very much a thing.

- WeWork IPO under threat; Aramco’s moves forward
One of the year’s biggest IPOs may be about to be pulled. The We Company, parent of loss-making office space provider WeWork, is under pressure from Softbank, its biggest external backer, to postpone an initial public offering that was supposed to take place this month.
Reports have indicated that marketing for the IPO was supposed to start this week, but have been snagged by valuation and governance concerns.
However, another much-hyped offering looks a big step closer after Saudi Aramco’s chief executive Amin Nasser told a conference that banks to lead the offering will be chosen “soon.” The bad news for U.S. investors is that Aramco, the world’s most profitable company, is due to be listed only in Riyadh to start with, followed by a foreign listing – most likely in Tokyo – at an unspecified later date.

- Boris thwarted, again
The British consolidated recent gains after the U.K. House of Commons thwarted Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plans to hold a general election before the country’s scheduled departure from the EU on Oct. 31.
The defeat – Johnson’s sixth in parliament in little more than a week – further reduces the chance of a disorderly Brexit in the fall, although popular discontent at the arcane maneuvering in parliament still means that Johnson could emerge the winner from an election when it is finally held.
Analysts at JPMorgan (NYSE:) told clients in a note that: "The only options we regard as ultimately viable are for the Prime Minister to present a deal to the Commons and secure approval for it, resign and let someone else make the extension request as PM, or back away from his stated position. At this point, our view is that resignation is the most likely of these three."
The opposition-led bill requiring Johnson to ask the EU for an extension to the Brexit deadline if he can't secure a transitional deal entered into law on Monday. Data released earlier showed the U.K. holding up surprisingly well, suggesting that the U.K. will avoid entering recession in the third quarter.
- PG&E proposes reorganization plan
California-based utility Pacific Gas & Electric (NYSE:) presented a plan to settle billions of dollars in wildfire-related claims and exit bankruptcy next year and escape its creditors.

But PG&E’s liabilities from years of fires are still uncertain and the company hasn’t decided on exactly how it will raise the money, the WSJ, citing papers filed with the relevant court.
