what happened

The People's Bank of China will announce its loan prime rate for October on Tuesday. The rate is expected to stay at 3.50 percent. According to TradingView, citing RTTNews and dpa-AFX, the day is expected to be quiet for Asia-Pacific economic activity.

On the same day, Taiwan will publish September figures for export orders. In August, orders rose 71.4 percent on the year.

why it matters

An expected unchanged LPR suggests Chinese policymakers are not easing lending conditions for now, which matters for the yuan and mainland Chinese stocks. September export orders from Taiwan will show whether the strong momentum after August's jump is holding.
