MNI China Daily Summary: Tuesday, May 19
TOP NEWS: China on Tuesday began charging anti-dumping and anti-subsidy
duties on barley from Australia at rates of 73.6% and 6.9% for five years, after
an investigation showed the domestic farming industry has been subjected to
substantial damages inflicted by Australian barley exports, the Ministry
Commerce said in a final ruling after investigations that started on Nov. 19 and
Dec. 21 of 2018.
LIQUIDITY: The People's Bank of China (PBOC) skipped open market operations
for the second day, leaving liquidity unchanged, according to Wind Information.
Liquidity in the banking system is reasonable and ample, the PBOC said on its
website.
RATES: The seven-day weighted-average interbank repo rate for depository
institutions (DR007) rose to 1.4395% from 1.2910% on Monday, Wind Information
showed. The overnight repo average increased to 1.3712% from 0.9129%.
YUAN: The yuan strengthened to 7.1071 against the dollar from 7.1133 on
Monday. PBOC set the dollar-yuan central parity rate lower at 7.0912, down from
the 7.1030 set on Monday.
BONDS: The yield on 10-year China Government Bonds was last at 2.7150%, up
from the close of 2.7075% on Monday, according to Wind Information.
STOCKS: The Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.81% to 2,898.58. Hong Kong's
Hang Seng Index rallied 1.89% to 24,388.13.
FROM THE PRESS: The PBOC should maintain normal monetary policy while
increasing counter-cyclical adjustment, as well as stabilize growth and
employment while preventing risks and restructuring the economy, Guo Shuqing,
party secretary of the central bank, said in a statement on its website, urging
more "cautious" control over financial regulation and more "creative"
implementation of monetary and macro-prudential policies.
China's power generation increased 5.6% y/y in the first half of May after
turning positive in April, the fastest this year, as improving economy boosted
industrial power consumption, Xinhua News Agency reported. The growth reflected
significant progress in resuming production, Xinhua said citing Shan Baoguo,
deputy chief economist at the State Grid Energy Research Institute. Power
generation grew 0.3% y/y in April, following 4.6% decline in March, Xinhua
added.
China should encourage SMEs to gain capital through innovative bonds and
easing requirements, the Securities Times reported a policy proposal by Lai
Xiufu, the director of the trust department of the China Banking and Insurance
Regulatory Commission. Regulators should accept SMEs' smaller-size net assets
and higher debt ratios when they apply for bond issuance, and institutional
investors could be encouraged to invest in some of the SME bonds, the newspaper
said.
