    Thanks afternoon crew.


    End-of-day wrap:


    The share market traded both sides of break-even before ending modestly lower following mixed Chinese economic data.

    The ASX 200 trimmed an opening fall of 25 points to a loss of five points or 0.06% by the close. The decline was the index's first in five sessions.

    Gains in tech, industrial and consumer discretionary stocks helped offset pressure from miners and energy producers. Drinks business Endeavour and miners IGO and Sayona were the biggest drags.

    Chinese data painted a mixed picture of the economy, with robust factory activity helping to offset weaker-than-expected GDP figures. The Shanghai Composite slid 1.1%. In the US, S&P 500 futures dipped 0.08%.
