BUZZ-Miners: boosted by China data

** Miners +1.3% after after a batch of solid economic data from China

** China's producer prices unexpectedly rose in September for the first time in nearly five years, while consumer inflation quickened to 1.9% from a year earlier, also beating market expectations

** Rio Tinto (LSE: RIO.L - news) , BHP Billiton (NYSE: BBL - news) and Anglo American all up ~2%

** Jefferies modestly increases some commodity price forecasts to reflect supply constraints and stable demand

** Broker raises TPs for UK-listed miners to reflect a 15% reduction in its GBP assumption (expects mining shares to be weak into year-end before recovering in 1Q) (Sanjeeban.Sarkar.thomsonreuters.com@reuters.net)
