China Expected To Hold Lending Rates Steady As Liquidity Surge Offsets Pressure For Stimulus - Tekedia

China is expected to keep its one-year LPR at 3.00% and five-year LPR at 3.50% unchanged for a 12th straight month.

Market expectations reflect abundant bank liquidity and growing imported inflation pressure, leaving little room for fresh rate cuts.

The PBOC appears to be prioritizing financial stability and inflation control over aggressive stimulus, despite weak growth and a soft property market.
