MNI (Beijing)

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has called on authorities to support the capital market and introduce more long-term capital, after chairing a State Council meeting to review capital-market operation, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported on Tuesday citing analysts.

The meeting emphasised efforts needed to improve market basic operation and balance investment with financing. Authorities should strengthen supervision and take effective measures to stabilise market confidence. Additionally, macroeconomic policy should conform and promote the stable and healthy development of the capital market.

The Shanghai Composite Index edged down 2.68% to 2,756.34 on Monday, with economists and analysts telling MNI the People’s Bank of China could reduce its policy rates as soon as late Q1 or early Q2. (See MNI PBOC WATCH: Policy Rate Cut Still Live, RRR Reduction Delayed)
