China Holds LPR Rates Steady as Trade Tensions Ease
China’s central bank maintained its benchmark one-year LPR at 3.0% and the five-year LPR at 3.5% for the fourth month in a row, signaling a cautious stance despite slowing retail demand and weak factory output. The move comes amid easing Sino-U.S. trade friction and resilient exports that give China room to avoid aggressive stimulus. Analysts believe China could still cut rates or adjust reserve requirement ratios in Q4, particularly if growth remains fragile through year-end or trade protections increase globally.
