China Property Prices, FDI Rise In September 10/15/2009 7:47 AM ET http://www.rttnews.com/Content/AllEconomicNews.aspx?Node=B2&Id=1094351 China's property prices in September rose at their fastest pace in a year as record lending and government stimulus boosted the economy. At the same time, foreign direct investment rose for the second straight month in September. Property prices in 70 cities rose 2.8% year-on-year in September, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday. That was the fourth consecutive increase after declines in seven months. In August, prices were up 2%. Continuing growth in Chinese property prices suggests that the country's real estate market is improving. On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.7% in September, slightly down from a 0.9% growth recorded in August. Prices of newly built residential properties rose 2.7% annually in September, quicker than the 1.5% increase seen in August. Prices in the secondary market grew 3.8% from a year earlier, slightly higher than August's 3.6% rise.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=aYj1vapkyCAw China Merchants Property Development Co. gained 5.2 percent to 27.30 yuan, the most since Sept. 3. The developer said third- quarter net income may climb as much as threefold from a year earlier to between 463 million yuan ($67.8 million) and 513 million yuan. Ratings Upgrade Moody’s Investors Service raised its rating on China’s residential property market outlook to stable from negative on Oct. 5, citing improving sales and the likelihood that prices will stabilize. An index tracking property stocks on the Shanghai gauge has more than doubled this year, the most among the five industry groups. It jumped 5.8 percent today. The Shanghai Composite is still down 14 percent from this year’s Aug. 4 peak. The gauge slumped 22 percent in August on concern a decline in new lending will derail economic growth and new share sales will divert funds from existing equities.

Now IPI's share price is positive we may see the more BUYing your where expecting. IMHO

I was looking for more evidence for the 7% rise in Plant Offshore Group POGL shares today and think it may be related to this article published yesterday that states the whole Oil Equipment and Service Sector is rising, here is the link: http://www.tradingmarkets.com/.site/news/Stock%20News/2575694/ iShares Dow Jones US Oil Equipment & Services Index Fund Up 22.8% Since SmarTrend's Buy Recommendation Mon.

We expect volumes in Q4 2009 to be the strongest quarter of the year, and for full year volumes to reach in excess of €60 billion. Despite the increase in transactional activity, we expect year end volumes to be down 45% on 2008, which in turn was down 55% on 2007."...

This article is indicating that China Commercial Property is increasing in value at 5% a month, in the office sector. This must be good for the value of CHWI's Property too.

Example of the Up Tern in the Oil and Gas Equipment and Service Sector – I feel we may soon be hearing the announcement of some new Contracts from POGL too. IMHO, DYOR. Check out this article to see the new growth: http://thebull.com.au/articles_detail.php?id=6577 …Meanwhile, included within the ‘blue-sky’ yet to be factored into the upside of major engineering firms are opportunities within large-scale water projects. Water contributes around 10 percent of profits for Leighton, Worley Parsons, Downer EDI, Transfield Services and slightly more for United Group, and Citi expects these stocks to benefit from future desalination plants, wastewater treatments and pipeline projects. While Leaning still believes Leighton, Downer and United Group are worth buying at current levels - on a 12 month outlook - he urges existing shareholders to maintain a core holding, while taking profits on recent gains. He recommends using the profits to lock-in exposure to contractors most likely to capitalise on the on the next round of contract awards once mineral, metal and green-fields projects are back on the table. Leaning claims that a reacceleration of the Chinese economy, a slow reigniting of the US housing cycle, and an increase in infrastructure spending globally supports the view that commodity prices have embarked on another cyclical upswing. “Once mineral, metal and green-fields projects are back on the table; I expect four key stocks to be early bene

London Commercial Real Estate Sees Relatively Rapid Price Correction Published on: Thursday, October 08, 2009 Written by: Property Wire http://www.nuwireinvestor.com/articles/london-commercial-real-estate-sees-relatively-rapid-price-correction-53816.aspx Foreign investment continues to account for the lion's share of London commercial real estate sales, contributing to back-to-back quarterly gains and a generally optimistic mood in the industry. With property supply stressed by growing demand, investors are taking advantage of favorable currency conditions, hoping to capitalize on London's recovery. Overseas property investors continue to favor London’s commercial property market with activity rising for a second consecutive quarter according to new figures. Some £1.602 billion was invested in central London’s main West End and City and Docklands markets, an increase of over 12% on the second quarter of the year, the latest report from Cushman & Wakefield shows. It is the first time the capital has delivered two quarters of consecutive growth since 2007... ...Clive Bull, head of central London investment, at Cushman & Wakefield said that the rest of 2009 is likely to be characterized by yields coming under more pressure as there is a relative lack of supply to satisfy investor demand. ‘Most of the UK institutions and REITs seem to have reached the end of their immediate selling requirements and there is limited evidence of t

The two RNS News items yesterday have made INVESCO Property Income Trust IPI look a lot more interesting. I see we have another tick up this morning and the BUYing is continuing. IMHO, DYOR

Hong Kong rises on back of Wall street, property and commodity gains http://www.proactiveinvestors.com.hk/market_news/1699-hong-kong-rises-on-back-of-wall-street-property-and-commodity-gains.html Hong Kong developers were boosted after the Hong Kong government said the number of property transactions in September jumped 96 percent from a year earlier, while the value of all transactions was up 185 percent. Sino Land (HKG:0083) rose 3.6 percent. Hang Lung (HKG:0101) was up 2.1 percent. New World Development gained 2 percent... CHWI should benefit too from this increased interest in Commercial Property.

Lenders to Increase Lending to Commercial Property Sector – Savills 7th October 2009 http://www.e1buytoletmortgages.co.uk/news/uk-property-news/lenders-to-increase-lending-to-commercial-property-sector-%E2%80%93-savills-3029.html Until the recent research conducted by Savills was published, the UK property industry was concerned over the slow recovery of the sector as banks did not express any willingness to lend more than they did. However, according to the survey performed among 100 British lenders by Savills, UK lenders have become more interested in lending to commercial property objects as they started to offer good yields upon the stabilisation of financial markets...

CB Richard Ellis Monthly Index reveals third consecutive month of capital growth http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=3553&title=CB_Richard_Ellis_Monthly_Index_reveals_third_consecutive_month_of_capital_growth The latest CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) Monthly Index reveals that commercial property has for the third consecutive month recorded positive returns and capital growth in September. Momentum gathered across all sub-markets, with All Property returning 2% and capital value growth of 1.3%. Central London Offices and Retail Warehouses were especially strong, with capital values up by 2.1% and 2.4% respectively. Rental values continued to reflect the occupier uncertainty across the country, with a further fall of 0.5% at the All Property level. David Wylie, Head of Economics & Forecasting at CBRE, commented: “September’s results confirm the strength of the recovery in the market, with 3 consecutive months of positive and improving capital growth, with values up 2% from their trough. This has been wholly down to yield recompression, as rental values continue to decline. Nonetheless, if the improvement is sustained, there is every chance that commercial property returns could end the year in positive territory, an impressive improvement given the negative sentiment throughout the early part of 2009. While this swing in sentiment is welcome given the slump over past two years, further economic headwinds could leave property vulnerable t
