what happened
The People's Bank of China appears more focused on improving how monetary policy transmits through the economy and steering credit to priority sectors, Market Talk reports. Oxford Economics senior economist Sheana Yue says broad interest-rate cuts are not currently the central bank's main focus.
In her view, the bank will likely rely on liquidity operations, reserve requirement changes and targeted credit facilities while keeping its headline policy rate unchanged. Targeted support is expected to increasingly favor domestic demand and strategic investment.
The central bank has stressed the need to strengthen financial backing for domestic demand, technological innovation, small and medium-sized enterprises and key infrastructure projects, Oxford Economics notes.
why it matters
For markets, this suggests economic support will probably come through targeted measures rather than cheaper money across the whole system. That matters for the yuan, Chinese government bonds and shares of companies tied to domestic demand and infrastructure. The report does not say how prices will react to these measures.
