Expectations High for Australia-China Free Trade Pact

        0036 GMT [Dow Jones] With a free trade pact between Australia and China expected to be signed in Canberra later Monday, speculation is high its contents will be meaningful, says ANZ in a research note. There is some anticipation the underpinnings will exceed industry expectations and, as such, benefits to Australia should exceed previous estimates of A$18 billion over 10 years. ANZ says a range of agriculture, horticulture and services industries stand to benefit via reduced tariffs and/or less restricted access to China's markets.
