Last night the US dollar index dropped to more than two-week lows on Tuesday while emerging market currencies outperformed, as rising stock markets reflected improving risk appetite. Both LME and SHFE base metals ended in mixed performance overnight.

From data point from US side data showed US industrial production increased for a fourth straight month in September, boosted by gains in manufacturing and mining output, but momentum slowed sharply in the third quarter.
Now day ahead some data to monitor today include total social financing (TSF) and broad M2 money supply in September for China, consumer inflation in September across the eurozone.
