People's Bank of China's Reserve Requirement Ratio Cut and Its Implications
The recent reserve requirement ratio cut by the People's Bank of China has caused mixed reactions in the market. To understand why the People's Bank of China can now choose to cut the reserve requirement ratio, there are several points to consider.
Firstly, changes in the external environment have released domestic monetary policy space. Recent events such as the SVB Bank and Credit Suisse Group in the United States may lead to increased volatility in overseas financial markets and economies, slowing down the pace of the Federal Reserve's rate hikes.
Secondly, China's inflation rate is relatively low, providing further room for monetary policy easing. This is the biggest difference between the Chinese and American economies.
Thirdly, the main contradiction in China's economy is still the insufficient effective demand. The recovery of domestic consumption and demand requires moderate monetary support.
Fourthly, to provide a bigger demand base for economic recovery. If the economic recovery is expected to be good, there will be greater demand for funds in areas such as consumption, real estate, technology innovation, and infrastructure. This is also what the government hopes to achieve this year. As for the implications for the future market, there may be the following points:
Firstly, this comprehensive reserve requirement ratio cut is estimated to release long-term funds of RMB 500-530 billion to the banking system. Therefore, domestic bank stocks such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), China Construction Bank, and China Merchants Bank are expected to become even stronger, and may even expand globally. This move by the People's Bank of China is reasonable given the unstable recovery of China's domestic demand and the significant changes in the external environment.
Secondly, this signal signifies a clear signal for further loosening of monetary policy, indicating that the government's new wave of support policies is already on the way after the two sessions.
Thirdly, the ultimate implication is, of course, a positive for the Chinese and Hong Kong stock markets. However, investors should be cautious about the temporary impact on the US stock market.
