The unchanged rates were widely expected after the MLF was unchanged earlier this week: People's Bank of China set MLF rate at 2.5% (expected 2.5%, prior 2.5%). The hold today is despite subdued economic data and widespread expectations that the Bank will be forced to cut rates at some stage. A critical constraint on the PBOC cutting rates is the wide yield gap with the US and the pressure on the yuan this is entailing. The PBOC is easing back on its dampening on the yuan weakness though: The PBOC USD/CNY fixing is coming up soon - ...

China's one-year loan prime rate (LPR), a market-based benchmark lending rate, was 3.45 percent on Wednesday, unchanged from the previous month. The over-five-year LPR, on which many lenders base their mortgage rates, also held steady from the previous reading of 3.95 percent, according to the National Interbank Funding Center.

LPRs set at: • 3.45% for the one-year (previously 3.45%) • 3.95% for the five-year (previously 4.20%) • first cut to the 5-year since August • 25bp is the largest cut ever The 5-year rate serves as an influence on mortgage rates.
