Forex Short News

People’s Bank of China sets its 1 and 5 year Loan Prime Rate (LPR) rates unchanged.

The PBOC uses the reverse reop rate as its main policy rate now. Currently 1.4%.

Most lending in China is tied to the one-year LPR, while the five-year rate guides mortgage pricing. Both rates were last trimmed by 10 basis points in May.
