CHINA: Little in the way of any tangible impact on Chinese 10-Year government
bond yields in the wake of the 5bp rate cut in the rate applied to the PBoC's
14-Day reverse repo ops, with the announcement of today's 7- & 14-Day reverse
repo ops (after a 20-Day hiatus in OMOs) having more of an impact than the cut
itself, allowing a move away from the early highs. 10-Year yields now sit little
changed on the day.
- USD/CNH has edged higher, and last trades ~50 pips or so better off, back
above CNH7.0000.
- China's CSI 300 is ~0.2% higher on the day.
- Chinese policymakers continue to point to targeted easing, with the PBoC
having a desire to keep things "prudent." The move shouldn't be judged as
powerful.
- Some houses are looking for a 5bp cut to the 1-Year LPR fixing on Friday, with
the potential for further RRR cuts in Jan, which could be amplified if banks
frontload lending in '20.
