China Money Rates Drop as Central Bank Stops Pushing Up Yields



As they say in the UFC, "It's all over now!!" All over for China's rate tightening, that is.

Yes, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) had become sensitive to criticism that it was letting loan growth expand too rapidly. And, yes, it had quietly engineered lower reserve balances and higher market rates over the past few months. However, enough was enough. The Chinese stock market's, recent, 16% decline appears to have sent a signal to that the tightening had gone far enough. Lending will likely remain constant at this level for the forseable future.

So...feel free to sound the "all clear."

China set to resume its rise, pulling the rest of the global economy up with it. And, yes, that means America, too!

and the stimulus has not been applied.

why did you not mention china's stimulus and the ECB's with respect to China / France / Germany's "rebound" ?

China is now putting out signals that the US stimulus bad.

Evidently they don't want us to stimulus because they are aggressively trying to leave us in the dust.

You should take the perspective sometimes that 'CHINA DOES NOT WANT THE USA TO STIMULATE AND SPEND, BECAUSE CHINA WANTS TO TAKE THE LEAD'

same with the "crass" krauts from Germany

finally - tax payer on the hook - can you say Iraq Vietnam ?
