China keeps one- and five-year loan prime rates unchanged at 3.0% and 3.5%
Question
China keeps one- and five-year loan prime rates unchanged at 3.0% and 3.5%
Direct answer
The unchanged fixing supports the renminbi versus the dollar but offers little direct relief for rate-sensitive property and bank shares; front-end China rates may stay anchored.
