yvonne: economists expecting a further cut in the rate target after the disappointing factory data. let's bring in a chief economist at bnp paribas. richard, really good to see you. pmi figureshese

about the selloff, continuing what we see globally, much of the same story, but it was a shock though. what theyes, i think market desperately wants is some stabilization, some kind of bottoming out in the mainland, which has been seeing progress for much of the year, and we did not get that yesterday. it continued to drift lower, and i think the more you drill down into the survey, the worse it looks, and what really stood out to me is there was a big spike, and i think this suggests there was an involuntary stock building, continuing to undershoot expectations, and i think that means there will be further downward pressure. yvonne: yes, the second highest level in the survey history. how much longer beyond that, do you think? richard: certainly, when you think of the balance, versus aventories, it does imply

more downward pressure probably for another month or two. what china desperately needs is some kind of circuit breaking policy announcement, stimulus that will start to act as a floor, at least under expectations for the economy, and i think that is what markets are globally waiting for an looking for from the chinese leadership. yvonne: does this solidify the case about caution when it comes to lifting interest rates? that is what everyone was looking out for. richard: i think that is right, and i think the fed, like a lot of policymakers, is conflicted. we know the domestic economy in the u.s. appears pretty solid if not robust, and they are putting confident that they have met the labor market objective, and we seem pretty close to even in the labor market where there are concerns globally. what stood out to me is that

janet yellen mentioned china six times, even in her press conference, and there are things on the mind of the fomc, and that is china. that is going to leave uncertainty around what the fed is going to do. yvonne: yes, and we were talking about xi jinping's trip to the u.s., doing some kind of damage control when it comes to the stock market as well as the fallingion, and he said further -- do you see that happening, that they would just loosen their grip question mark richard: i think most important, the market sees further devaluation if you look at it in curve.ward china is experiencing very strong rates of capital flight, and that is the number one problem in the chinese economy this year and now. got 3 trillionve dollars in reserves though. richard: they do, but they seem to be burning through them one hundred last

month, probably on course for something similar this month, and as you say, china has deep pockets, but even china cannot afford to bleed reserves at the current rate forever, so the key for me though is that while foreign exchange reserves are falling, that is tightening domestic liquidity. it is making it very difficult for chinese authorities to continue to get the message interest rates down, and that is what i think china really needs, so in a way, while the capital flight continues, losing control of the monetary policy, and i think that is why many people, myself included, are looking for fiscal policy to these up that circuit breaker, that shock of the policy announcement that expectations on for the economy. yvonne: some are saying what they did in august is anti-kiwi -- anti-qe.

with this new record, how bad can it get? richard: it could get worse. being hit by the slowdown and the strong dollar, and it is already in a deep and we believe accelerating recession, and we believe gdp can follow 3% this year, and were it to continue to fall, he would be a rock-bottom consensus of expectations for brazil, but we seem to be moving into a new, very worrisome part of the crisis, where markets are theeasingly concerned about utility of policymakers and the politicians to get a grip on the fiscal situation. and if that does not resolve, the dynamic gets more worrisome. that appears to be what is really pushing the currency ever lower. so rather like china, there needs to be some sort of circuit breaking announcement, but when it comes from, whether the politicians have the ability to achieve that in the near term i think remains highly out full,

so i think probably the best case is more downside to come for brazil. richard,ll right, joining us there from bnp paribas. now, to the stories making headlines around the world. germany's chancellor says eu leaders have placed an additional one billion euros for international agencies helping syrian war refugees in lebanon, syria, and turkey, and at a summit in brussels, they said they would set up several processing centers in the eu by the end of november to identify genuine refugees. and police scuffled with trade unions during a rally in seoul, korea. unionists want companies to keep when they areven underperforming. currently, workers can only be sacked for wrongdoing such as embezzlement or if the firm is in serious financial difficulties. the president wants to push the labor report through by the end of the year. obama ondent barack

some items. auction sales of chinese art felt. tell us more about this. is it more about the slowdown, or does it go beyond that? reporter: the chinese market is probably one of the most opaque markets. you have artists buying their own works and auction markets buying their own works to push up prices, so the crackdown on corruption has caused people to withdraw from the market. also, there is an element of conspicuous consumption. what people like to do is being conspicuous course consumption is being frowned on, especially by the permit officials, so that is one of the main factors pre-yvonne:
