Everything is about the ongoing rally in Chinese equities at the moment, with China now being the best yielding country in the world in equity space after both the PBoC and the Politburo coming through with stimulus proposals, which has caught all China bears on the wrong side of the trade.
We learned today that the PBoC is cutting the standing lending facility rates by 20 bps, a move not seen since the pandemic broke out.
They have normally cut the interest rates in the lending facility by 10 bps at a time, so this is likely a sign that they’re truly willing to do something about the slump in growth / real estate.
