China Tries Again

Thursday 25th January 2024NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NABTheres a more risk positive mood this morning NAB’s Rodrigo Catril says its being driven by moves in China to drive an economic recovery, including a half percent cut in the reserve requirement ratio for lenders. There’s been more attention ,though, to talk of a (long awaited) fiscal stimulus. Japan’s currency moved higher as investors mulled over the commentary form the bank of Japan, suggested a move into positive rates was looking more likely. Whilst the Bank of Canada highlighted that the days of rate rises are over for now, without giving any timeline for cuts. In PMIs Europe showed further weakness against US strength. Another reason for the ECB to cut rates sooner rather than later, but few expect that to happen at tomorrow’s meeting. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
