CHINA STOCKS

China Mainland equities are back trading today after the LNY break. PBoC left the 1-year MLF unchanged on Sunday at 2.5%, this was largely expected. There has been little in the way of Chinese data the past week, however consumer spending looks promising as state owned media reported a 19% jump in travel during the LNY period compared to 2019, while box office sales reached 8.02b yuan a record high, railway travel also surged up 36% from the 2019 period.

  • China Mainland equities are faring slightly better, but are off their opening highs, the CSI300 is currently trading up 0.10% after opening 0.80% higher, while the CSI100 is up 0.50%
