Major News
The National Bureau of Statistics will release September national economic data. On October 19, the National Bureau of Statistics will publish September economic data including industrial value-added, fixed asset investment, and retail sales. On the same day, the National Bureau of Statistics will also release the monthly report on commercial residential sales price indices for 70 large and medium-sized cities.
The October LPR will be announced. On October 20, the 1-year and 5-year Loan Prime Rate (LPR) will be released. The 1-year LPR in September stood at 3.0%, and the 5-year-plus LPR at 3.5%, maintaining stable operation for 16 consecutive months. Wen Bin, Chief Economist of China Minsheng Bank, stated that the trend in China's bond market interest rates and the RMB exchange rate reflects the relatively high safety attributes of Chinese assets, which helps China's monetary policy remain "self-centered." Future adjustments to policy rates will still depend on economic fundamentals and the net interest margin situation of commercial banks, and LPR quotes will most likely follow policy rate movements.
