Value-added industrial output for November rose 6.2% from a year earlier, accelerating from a 4.7% year-over-year increase in October, the official National Bureau of Statistics said. November’s reading easily topped the 5% increase predicted by a Wall Street Journal poll of 15 economists. China’s retail sales climbed 8% in November from a year earlier, compared with October’s 7.2% increase. That beat a median forecast for 7.6% growth. China’s fixed-asset investment remained unchanged at 5.2% for the January-November period amid accelerated industrial investment and slower expansions for the infrastructure and property sectors. Home sales, investment and construction slowed slightly in November as Beijing held firm to its policies aimed at curbing property speculation.
