The PBOC added that smaller, privately run businesses still face difficulties, and ensuring employment remains a great challenge.\nThe report talked at length about an increase in inflation globally, and forecast China's producer prices would rise later this year as commodity prices climb worldwide. The central bank also noted that rising inflation in major economies has increased the pressure of currency depreciation and capital flows for some emerging economies.\nData out this week showedU.S. consumer prices posted their fastest increase since September 2008,at 4.2% in April. Meanwhile,producer prices rose 6.2%in their fastest increase in the index's roughly one-decade history.\nThe S&P 500 has fallen more than 2% so far this week, while the10-year Treasurybrieflyhit a one-month highof nearly 1.69%.It's not clear if the latest rise in U.S. inflation will be a negative for stocks in the long term.\nChina keeps rates steady\nThe Chinese 10-year government bond yield has held above 3.1%, while the Shanghai composite has climbed 2% this week.China said Tuesday its producer prices rose in Aprilby their fastest in more than three years — up 6.8%. But consumer prices edged up just 0.9% as pork prices fell.\n\"If we have prices rising in China, it's not demand overheating domestically, which could warrant change of monetary policy to slow that,\" said Francoise Huang, senior economist at Euler Hermes, a subsidiary of Allianz, in a phone interview Wednesday. \"I continue to think the policy rates will not be changed this year.\"\nThe Chinese central bank has kept its benchmark lending rate, theloan prime rate, unchanged for a year.The next monthly announcement on the rate is due May 20.\nIn its quarterly report this week, the central bank added that \"prudent\" monetary policy would be flexible, targeted and appropriate.\nHigh employment pressure\nZong Liang, chief researcher at the Bank of China, doesn't expect China's monetary policy to change until the second half of the year, at the earliest. He noted the central bank kept policy relatively tighter in the last two years versus that of other countries.\nAlthough he expects Chinese consumers will pick up their spending in the second quarter, especially as China steps up local vaccinations, consumption is still in a period of recovery, Zong said.\nIn a sign of Beijing's caution on the economy, authorities said at a meeting Wednesday that pressure to support employment remains high. The central government decided at the meeting to extend pandemic-erasupport for unemployment until the end of this year.\nHowever, the level of support was scaled back from what it was last year. China's economy grew 18.3% in the first quarter, from a contraction last year amid the height of the pandemic.\n\n We think a hasty withdrawal of stimulus policies will also bring about new financial risks.Ligang LiuCHIEF CHINA ECONOMIST, CITI RESEARCH\n\nSeparately, data out Wednesday showedloan growth slowed more than expected in April, which some economists said reflected credit tightening.\n\"We think monetary conditions have likely tightened, but overall credit policy remains supportive for a more balanced recovery of the real economy, considering the relatively robust medium-term and long-term loan growth,\" said Bruce Pang, head of macro and strategy research at China Renaissance.\n“The sharper-than-expected slowdown in short-term loan issuance in April may also (be) due in part to regulators’ increased scrutiny on the illegal use of business and consumption loans for property financing,” he said.\nRisks in real estate\nReal estate is one of the primary areas of investment — and speculation — in China. In an attempt to keep price gains from getting out of hand, authorities have tried to act cautiously.\nThe People’s Bank of China said in its first quarter monetary policy report that house prices must be kept stable, and emphasized that houses are for living, not speculation.\nAlthough markets appear to believe China will accelerate its exit from policies implemented in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, there isn’t a strong case right now for the central bank to do so, Ligang Liu, chief China economist at Citi Research, said in a statement.\n“Financial fragility has increased, represented by the enlarged property bubble, elevated debt level, and enhanced default risk,” Liu said. “We think a hasty withdrawal of stimulus policies will also bring about new financial risks.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":192062107,"gmtCreate":1621131160709,"gmtModify":1704353126330,"author":{"id":"3582360052677778","authorId":"3582360052677778","name":"ShirlySuet","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57d93e0a20280806b45e744b5e2a11cb","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3582360052677778","authorIdStr":"3582360052677778"},"htmlText":"What should we do to beat inflation?
